FAITH IN SERVICE AWARD - HELEN STALTER
 
 
 
 
 
Helen Stalter was honored as the 2009 recipient of the Faith In Service Award. 
 
Ken Ross last year's honoree, remarked on Helen's many areas of service as he presented Helen the award before the congregation.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Pastor Frank Kowar led the congregation in a dedication of a Christian Servant.  He had a specially prepared prayer that did not reveal the name of the recipient until Ken made the announcement.  The congregation read the prayer in unison filling in Helen's name.
  
 Also present in the picture is the extended Stalter family.
