BURM Network 2022 Conference

Cheri Simonet
Presbyterian BURM Network

October 6 thru 8, 2022

We are excited to have the opportunity to host the BURM Network 2022 Conference at our church in early October.

BURM stands for Belarus, Ukraine, Russia Mission and is a network of mission co-workers serving the Presbyterian Church USA in that part of the world, of which our own Ellen Smith is an active leader.

Participants in the conference October 6-8 will learn history, the current climate, and actions currently being taken in Eastern Europe. Anyone interested is welcome to attend the sessions. As the host congregation, we will look for volunteers to help with welcoming participants, serving a few meals, and providing A/V assistance as the speakers will be livestreamed. Watch for more information in the next month and step up to help.

Earlier this week we featured our Monday Member Spotlight Name that Member through email and on our social media and now it’s time for the BIG REVEAL! In case you missed it, here’s our Member’s story:

  • I have a childhood memory from when I was in the 6th grade I was called into the principal’s office right before Christmas. I knew I hadn’t done anything wrong but I was still scared! Turns out they just wanted me to emcee the Christmas pageant. They didn’t have microphones back then and I had a loud voice
  • 6th grade was a memorable year because not only did I emcee the Christmas pageant, I got to see President Eisenhauer as his motorcade drove downtown
  • I am the youngest of 6. I had one sister and have 1 brother remaining of 4
  • I am married with 4 children and 5 grandchildren
  • I love to cross stitch and watch HGTV
  • What I love the most about our church is how it’s growing and keeping up with the times but still keeping the integrity of the original church
  • I have been a member of the church my whole life
  • My favorite vacation memories are visiting Washington D.C. when I was pregnant with my first child. I loved visiting Ford’s Theater and the rooming house across the street where Lincoln died
  • I am most passionate about trying to lead a good Christian life
  • I was a preemie when I was born. I weighed under 5#. My diapers were men’s handkerchiefs and I wore doll clothes until I was almost 2. Nothing else fit!
