Each year our congregation recognizes a pillar of the church. This is someone who for years has held us up with steadiness and labor, cheerfully being there when work, thoughtfulness and dedication was needed. This year’s recipient is Ann Salamini whose list of committees and task forces and special project leadership extends from Board work and ministry search committees to Undoing Racism and Retreat and Covenant organizing. She is a depositor and has been an usher and on Buildings and Grounds. She has taught AFD classes and one RE class. She is not afraid of the Pledge Drive. Best of all she is there when someone needs her, regularly visiting members who find they need transportation or who need the notice we give each other because we are, after all, a congregation and a village of care.
