At our Congregational Meeting on June 11th we honored Reverend Judy Tomlinson with the Joan Gillan Award for service to our Religious Education program.
Rev. Judy is our former Director of Religious Education who has continued to serve our church community in her retirement. This church year she taught OWL to our 4th-6th graders all Fall and led our Youth Group twice a month in the Winter and Spring. She organized a cookie bake event for the Youth Group and served as an advisor to our bridging youth this spring, meeting with them several times and supporting them as they prepared to speak at the Bridging Ceremony, which she also helped organize.
We are so fortunate to have Rev. Judy’s experience, leadership, and caring to depend on. Please join me in thanking her for her valuable contributions to our Religious Education program and our church community at large.
Karen Magoon Pearson is Orange Coast Unitarian Universalist Church's Director of Religious Education.
