November 13, 2010. OUMC celebrates its 55th anniversary.
Here's the message which organizer Sharyl Lewis sent to her many helpers after the celebration was over:
Dear 55th Team:
WE DID IT !!!!!! You are amazing. You are the best "worker bees" ever. So
many ideas and so much help. I am so honored to have had you all on the team,
all sharing your gifts and talents. It was a great party, especially because of
your support and dedication to our church. We are blessed to have you serving
here.
Blessings
Sharyl
Edde's response probably reflects the feelings of all the folks who pitched in to help:
Sharyl,
None of this would have been possible without your initiative and
leadership. I wish I could have done more to help you and the
committee. I am honored to have been able to contribute in a small way
to such a lovely celebration!
