Did you know? Betty Hickey was the first recipient of “Layperson of the Year” in 1992 followed by 28 other church members. The Layperson of the Year award ended in 2016. Each year the church recognizes a member in the church family who goes above and beyond the regular church attendance. A person (or couple) who is always willing to go that extra mile for the cause of Christ and good of the church is selected Layperson of the Year. With the majority vote of the congregation under the auspices of the Church Council, the recipient is granted this award with a lunch fellowship in the month of June.
