CONGRATULATIONS TO SHERRY JAGERSON:

OUR LEADING LIGHT AWARD RECIPIENT FOR APRIL

Please join the Leadership Development Team in congratulating Sherry Jagerson, April’s Leading Light award recipient. Among the many significant gifts of Sherry’s time and talent are her service as chair of Westbridge Coalition, a group that generously shares its gifts both within and outside TUCW. Sherry devotes hours of time in service to United with Kenya and sits on its Board of Directors; she has also served on our own TUCW Board of Trustees. Sherry invests hours of her time reaching out to our community as a Visiting Steward and she brightens our services by sharing her voice with the Once and Again choir. For all of her involvement in and commitment to TUCW, Sherry truly is a Leading Light.

All children and youth are welcome to join us for our Sunday virtual classes. Just show up on ZOOM! Or, to find out more first, contact Nate Pawelek, our Director of Faith Formation. Information about our programming is always available HERE.
