This month the BOT extends its gratitude to Paula Horton and Lisa Winkler, whose leadership as co-chairs of the Caring Team has helped our congregation stay connected in a variety of meaningful ways. Paula and Lisa coordinate a loyal group of volunteers who send cards to those who share joys and concerns each week; provide meals to congregants in need; provide transportation to Sunday services and medical appointments for those unable to drive; host special holiday celebrations and Tea & Odyssey events; assist with memorial services; reach out to residents of Medford Leas and others who are house-bound and isolated; maintain an updated list of local resources for congregants in need; and make annual phone calls to all church members to maintain connection and identify needs to be addressed. Thank you, Paula and Lisa, for leading these efforts while still being involved in so many other areas of the church as well!
