Each year one or more persons is/are recognized for outstanding volunteer service to the church and/or women of the church. Because the 2015 Special Mission Recognition was very special, we wish to tell you about it now. Our honorees, the JIRAK FAMILY, included James & Marlene, who joined the church in 1955, two sons who joined in 1969, another in 1973 and one in 1976, a daughter in 1979, and many extended family members joining in more recent years. The family received a plaque and $40 was given to missions in their honor.
Individual members of the JIRAK family have served on trustees, church council, finance, youth council, nominations, and have also participated in the cantata, women's Bible study, mentoring for confirmation, and as a church pianist. Also, Marlene (who joined UMW in 1992) furnished twelve sweet cream raisin pies for the bazaar each year for many years. As a family, they have provided lawn care for the church, extra dirt for landscaping, and have done any major outside work that needed to be done.
We congratulated Jim & Marlene (both now deceased), Tim & Robin, Tom & Cindy, Gary (Butch) & Corinne, Jerry Dean & Kim, and Michelle (Mickie) & Kelly Klosterman, and their families for many years of faithful service to the Breckenridge United Methodist Church.
More than ninety-six persons have been recognized since the project began in 1965. Yes, VOLUNTEERISM is a mainstay of the church!
