Scholarship recipients thanks the Bellevue Heights Church Foundation
Fuller Theological Seminary, California student Amy Thompson “It is with much gratitude that I write this letter of thanks for the financial aid you have awarded me for this upcoming academic year. Serving in ministry and raising a daughter, adopted from India three years ago, while in school, brings many joys and a few challenges. Your gift not only helps us to pay our expenses during the next year, but also lightens other burdens as well. From our whole family, THANK YOU!”
Diane A. Ellis “I want to thank you again for your support. It makes a huge difference to me in my ability to continue on this journey. This semester I am taking Christian Theology, Typologies and Themes; Preaching Difficult Scripture Texts; and Supervised Ministry. I am a student minister at Calvary St. Andrews Presbyterian Church and have preached there twice. I have participated in the liturgy planning team for several months and the task force looking at improving communications, and am coordinating the adult Christian education program this year. I look forward to all of the learning opportunities I will have in this parish. May you be blessed as you have blessed me.”
