Greetings Members of Holy Cross Lutheran Church,

As we approach the retirement of Deaconess Pamela, it is good, right, and salutary that we, as the congregation that has been so richly blessed by the God-given fruits and gifts of her vocation, should take steps to demonstrate our appreciation for her service in a tangible way. In order to do this, the Deaconess Retirement Event Committee intends to gift Deaconess Pamela a plaque and money for her retirement vacation. If you would like to give to this effort, please send your donations to me. If using a check, please make it payable to Spencer Hartwig and place it in my mailbox. We look forward to celebrating the vocation of Deaconess Pamela and the good fruit it has borne for the members of Holy Cross Lutheran Church and the people of Kenya.
