We are blessed by the work of our Conference, not limited to these ministries listed below, but we are happy to lift these up in the light of God and honor their on-going work.
We are so very grateful for the continued work of the indomitable and incomparable Rebecca Braganza. We cannot measure her impact, and so we simply say, "Thank you for all you do, the spirit of joy and compassion you bring to the work, and the competency with which you serve."
We are thrilled to honor two winners of this year's Lou and Mary Anna Speller Humanitarian Service Award. Here's Judy Joutras of St Peter's United Church of Christ in Carmel, IN. Congratulations, Judy!
