Heritage Award Dinner, 2017 Honoring Gail Reid

by

Every year St. Michael’s selects a long-time parishioner to receive the Heritage Award to honor their dedication and involvement with various programs and ministries.  This year Gail Reid will be honored.  She began attending St. Michael’s in 1989 when St. Michael’s was last without a rector.  Since then she has been involved with many different ministries at St. Michael’s.  Gail is very active in serving on the Altar Guild.  She is a member of the Order of the Daughters of the King and often serves as a Eucharistic Minister during worship.  She has been involved with many of the various outreach ministries such as Trinity Center and Mobile Loaves and Fishes but her service has been most evident in her past work with the St. Michael’s garden.  St. Michael’s provides organic vegetables to our food pantry and the St. James Neighbor-to-Neighbor Program.  Please help St. Michael’s honor Gail by attending the Heritage Dinner on Saturday, May 6.  To RSVP for this dinner, please click here.
