Welcome New ESUMC Lay Leaders!
News
In worship on Sunday 14 April, we formally installed a slate of ESUMC lay members to positions of congregational leadership.
Many of these lay members were re-elected to positions in which they already serve, and we are thankful for their continued service.
The following members have been elected for the first time to serve in leadership positions: Barbara Gibson, Victoria Sseruwagi, Amelie Haslinger, Ricardo Valente, and Mark Smyth. We welcome these persons who are newly offering their gifts to the leadership of our congregation.
And in our worship service, we also gave thanks to members who have faithfully served for the past years, and whose terms of service have now ended: Paulina Analena, Shelley Brauneis, Andre Dimailig, Kofi Amartey Mensah, John Mikulski, Martin Schulzer, and Sigrid Schulzer-Anusie.
