Reception for Tammy Richelieu
|
 Sunday, May 17 Noon
Please join us in the Fellowship Hall after worship this Sunday for a reception in honor of Tammy Richelieu. Tammy and her family are moving to Honolulu where her husband, J.R., has been reassigned with the Army.
Tammy came to FPC in November 2006 and implemented many new wonderful programs for our children during these eight years. Her philosophy of growing compassionate children blossomed into many innovative programs, including:
- A workshop rotation model for Sunday School
- Funtastic First Fridays: a monthly fellowship gathering for 1st - 3rd graders combining a sense of church with a sense of fun
- FaithGirlz: a monthly book club for 3rd - 5th grade girls, giving them the opportunity to talk about faith and real-life issues
- Club 4-5: a twice-a-month group for 4th and 5th graders that evolved into a service group implementing Jesus' commandment of learning to love your neighbor
- Quarterly baptism classes with the church pastors for new parents
If you would like to contribute to a farewell gift for Tammy and her family, you may send a check to the church office, attention Terrie Sears, and label it "Tammy's gift."
We will miss Tammy, J.R., Clay, Ashton and Tyrel, and wish them well as they start this exciting new chapter in their lives.
