KENDALL CHURCH MEMBERS HONORED

by Alrie Mundell
Five long-time, active members of Kendall Church in Miami, Fla., celebrated age 90+ birthdays during 2012. With thankfulness to God, the lives of these individuals were recently recognized for service in His work and for the blessing they are to the congregation.
Pearl Bell is known as a strong supporter of her church. Her friendly smile and gentle demeanor helped Kendall Church become recognized as the friendly church. (No photo available.)
Hugh Crarey served as an elder and interim pastor during his service of more than 24 years at Kendall Church. He still attends every Sabbath and blesses the services singing hymns of praise with his rich baritone voice.
Ethlyn Gordon holds the distinction of being the oldest member. She has mentored and inspired both young and old. Seeing her on Sabbath mornings gives every age group the inspiration that being 95 is not too old to faithfully serve the Lord.
Marjorie Mundell, along with her husband, Roderick, are charter members of Kendall Church after it grew out of its mother church, Miami Temple, more than 25 years ago. Before Kendall Church was built, Marjorie’s home was the site of many prayer and board meetings. She strongly supports the work of her church in the community it serves.
Jean Richards has willingly served her church as an officer for more than 20 years. She was employed for many years as a nurse and still gives sound medical advice to her church family.
