Laurel Venhuizen (left) was surprised by Pastor Gail on May 15 when she received Special Mission Recognition for all of her work in the church and community. Laurel has been UMW secretary and treasurer for many years. She makes quilts for the Harriet Tubman women’s shelter and for baptisms here at Faith. She embroiders dish towels, has been the head funeral organizer at church for many years, makes school bags for needy children, makes soup for our soup and salad luncheons, helps with church clean-up (specializing in defrosting the freezer and cleaning ovens and fan hoods), helps set up for Christmas, provides food at the basket sale, coordinates the UMW Lenten dinner, is known for her pickle-making, and has served on the Staff Parish Committee and the Board of Trustees. Laurel has been a volunteer in the community as well, including working at DARTS and Neighbors, Inc. She has also been a reading buddy for children at a local elementary school. Congratulations to Laurel on this well-deserved award!
