Volunteer Spotlight on Tammy Sparks & Darlene Moore

Tammy Sparks, director, & Darlene Moore, accompanist, help our Cherub Choir (age 4-Kindergarten) make a joyful noise. Both are making an indelible mark on these young people by sharing God’s love with them and helping them to share their God-given talents with others!

In addition to directing the Children’s Choir, Tammy is also active in the FUMC Orchestra in which she plays the violin. She is an active member of the Open Door Sunday School Class where she also participates in the Mt. Calvary UMC Power Meal, providing food for the less fortunate. In addition, you can see her helping with building or painting wheelchair ramps from time to time with our missions projects!

Darlene is always willing to lend a hand wherever she is able!

THANK YOU TO BOTH
for your service and example!

Leave a note of thanks below to these wonderful volunteers!

All total, nine people came and spent 2-3 hours on Saturday, April 16, 2011 making a great difference for their church:

  • Paul Goodrich
  • Maggie Goodrich
  • Lamar Baer
  • Nancy Orr
  • Kristen Gossett
  • Elizabeth Yeager
  • Mitizi Brotherton
  • Glenn Barham
  • John Dillard

Rev. John Dillard, in writing about this productive day, said:

Because of your work: there is more light in the sanctuary; leaves were removed from places they shouldn’t be, sanctuary trash and upside down hymnals were put in their proper places; wall paper was re-stuck on the wall where it was originally intended to be stuck; scuff marks were removed from a stairwell, weeds were pulled out of the way so we look more inviting for our guests and members, and the dust bunnies were chased out of the sanctuary!

THANK YOU!
