GRATITUDE

Special thanks to the members of the Christian Education Committee, Kelly Adduci, Marianne Bloecher, Lindsey
Hancock, Dale Kohl, Kate Manzolini, Kate Marion, Eric Melanson, and Addie Weiss for their continuing support,
appreciation and dedication to the educational ministry of Pilgrim Church. Additionally, we are forever grateful to
Chuckie Blaney for being our church school friend and the provider of happiness in the form of munchkin donuts.
I want to extend my many thanks to members of the church who have helped me plan and offered creative ideas to
involve the kids. Judy Crenshaw and Kay Dunlap put together a mosaic activity to complement our social justice
project. It was most appreciated by families and myself.
