of service to the Fire Baptized
Holiness Church!
Thank you for your commitment
and dedication to the Southwest
Ohio District. Your service in the
Department of Religious
Education has a tremendous
impact on the people of God by
providing life-long learning
opportunities.

and keep you in the knowledge

10. As I think back over your years of
service the word “committed”
comes to mind. There seems to
have never been a time when you
weren’t prepared for an event
even in your absence.
You have the ability to reach the
youth in such a way that learning
more about the Lord is exciting. I
thank you for being who you are in
Christ. You lead by example.
I appreciate all your hard work and
the dedication you’ve shown.
Know that your labor is not in vain.
I love you with the love of God and
am thankful for all that you have
done.
Pastor Beth Poellnitz
11. Has it really been 30
years?
Time really does not
stand still. Seems like it
was just a short time
ago that we were
working together on
the first "Southwest
Ohio District's Award
Banquet".
But really, over the
years we have
enjoyed the many challenging themes along with the very appropriate
accompanying scriptures, the workshops, and your warm friendly
personality!
You have indeed shown yourself to be a woman of God and the District
has been wonderfully blessed because of your efforts. I want you to know
that we greatly appreciate you, and all that you have done to help us all
to be better Christians!
Pastor Reginald Poellnitz

smile to my face
(remember Akron,
Ohio? ).
You are so
deserving of this
honor and more. I Stephanie Fomond Mann,
