Pam Cribb…tag you’re it!

December 12, 2010

On Saturday, 12/4, the Women’s Ministry was pleased to honor Pam Cribb as our latest “Tag You’re It” recipient!  “Tag You’re It” is an honor bestowed upon one of our very own for her wonderful example of a Proverbs 31 woman.  Pam is truly deserving!  She has faithfully served our children in the three year old room for 3+ years.  She read to them, sang to them, hugged them, and shared the love of Jesus through her kind words and kind spirit.  Thank you Pam for teaching us (and our children!) what it truly means to sacrifice our time and talent for Christ!  You are  a treasure to us all.
