Four Decades of Service
On Sunday, April 16, we celebrate 40 years of ministry with Sandy Riebe. Sandy is our Director of Financial Ministries and has served in the role now for four decades! Sandy brings faith, skill, kindness, and candor to all our ministries since everything touches finances in one way or another. We'll pray for her in worship, and you'll have an opportunity to write a note of encouragement during the fellowship hour. Be sure to express your appreciation to Sandy for years past and years to come. If you would like to send Sandy a card, you can mail it to the church office 4102 S Crestline, Spokane, WA 99203.
