Each year the United Methodist Women honor individuals for their commitment to serve and support our church community without any expectation of recognition. Working behind the scenes, they ensure the smooth operation of our church and the achievement of our goals. They prepare our worship space, balance our books, facilitate social justice activities, and do whatever else they see needs to be done.
In past years, we have recognized them in person, in front of the congregation. Like so many things, COVID has prevented us from doing that last year and this year. We will not let that diminish our appreciation for all the effort or lessen our desire to share our gratitude with the congregation.
So please join me in congratulating our 2020 recipients Sarah Williams, Brian Williams, and Blanche Shannon, and our 2021 recipients Randy Ruan and Sharon Marcacci. Each of these individuals will have their names added to the records of recipients kept by UMW in Washington DC.
