Outstanding Service Award 2007 - John Foulds
Comments(0) It was with great pleasure that the Board of Directors, at this evening’s Annual General Meeting, awarded the Outstanding Service Award for 2007 to John Foulds in recognition of his quiet yet highly appreciated work across a wide range of ministry areas.
On many occasions, John has shown himself to be a safe and willing pair of hands whenever something needed doing. He has been a supportive and listening ear for many who have shared their concerns with him, while he himself has been struggling with the pain of leaving behind a life which was bringing him to his knees, both physically and spiritually. John came to us needing much love, and has responded by showing much love to others.
And so, while the award in previous years has generally been given in recognition of particular notable projects or achievements, the Board were delighted this year to acknowledge the many ordinary yet important ways in which John builds up our church as a place where the love of Jesus is to be encountered. And we regard these gifts as worthy of celebration.
