Church Members in the Community

Today was the annual Partners in Education breakfast/awards program sponsored by Xenia Community Schools. The purpose of Partners in Education is to recognize the support our schools receive through businesses, organizations, and churches.

This year, a new award was created to highlight how being a partner between the schools and the community is a two-way street. The award is for a school group which has helped an organization in the community.

The first recipient for this new award was a Central Middle School class that was taught by Betsy Murray (far right), a member of Faith Community for the work of her class in helping the Xenia Adult and Recreation Services (formerly known as Golden Age Senior Citizens Center.)

Two of the class members, Ashleigh Spahr (4th from right), and Sarah Middlebrooks (2nd from right), were part of the 2007 confirmation class at Faith Community. It's always great to see our church members being recognized for shining the light of Christ in our community. Way to go!
