Church members gift Jessica

Pastor Tom Howe presented Jessica with a check Sunday representing the offerings at communion Sunday in May.  He explained that Jessica is the first in many years from Christ United Methodist Church to enter the ministry and that while Jessica is blessed with scholarships they do not cover all expenses.  Jessica has completed one year at Duke Seminary.  As the Rev. Howe pointed out, Duke is expensive.

The offering this Communion Sunday is to aid those persons suffering from recent tornadoes, especially in Oklahoma.
