2010 God's Loving Hands Awards
Up one levelIn preparation for the 2010 God’s Loving Hands Award, a yearly recognition of the life-time contributions made to All Souls by individuals, Kerstin McDaniel suggested a gift that would make a tangible and permanent addition to our Richard Morris Hunt worship space—Kneelers! The suggestion was readily embraced by the committee chaired by Wade Saunders and the work began resulting in eight new kneelers. The honorees for the 2010 God’s Loving Hands Award were: Millie Elmore, David Fortney, Martha Fullington, Margaret McKeel, Carey Caperton Owen, Suzzy Sams, Mike and Susan Stevenson.
