Those amazing workers behind Summer Forum 2018. . .

On eight Sundays this summer, we had a strong team effort: Our Church hosted speakers, presenters and musicians who educated, informed and entertained.  We acknowledge Tim and Cathy Chambless for inviting the speakers, doing introductions and conducting Q&A sessions.  However, many others deserve credit for their essential work that made the Church’s Summer Forum series truly successful.

Becky Heal and Shirley Ray arranged for musicians to perform who magically complemented the tone of the speaker content.  Lee Shuster and his A/V team Don Walton and Joe Herring were there every Sunday to amplify and control sound and record video so others could enjoy remotely. Marc Peterson efficiently handled the volunteer sign-ups and reminders by email. Pauline Higgins, Marion Johnson and Jack Avery ensures there was coffee each Sunday.  Child care was lovingly provided by Anna Fonnesbeck in the pre-school room and playground. The multitude of other roles as ushers, welcome table greeters and coffee makers were filled by the dedicated volunteers (and their committees) listed below:

• June 24; Colleen Bliss, Adam Mansfield, Tyler Jacobsen, Mark Rothacher, Melanie Hopkinson, Barbara Kreek, Nancy Howard, and Rick Bliss(Small Group Ministry)
