To Erie Renno, whose service to God and the church as an active member, superintendent, minister, bishop, and minister of visitation has spanned over half the years of this church and continues through this day.

And whose compassionate and honest character, willingness to accept personal sacrifices, and concern for the unity and health of the church have shaped all of us in profound ways.

Thank you, Erie, for being our spiritual leader, example, and friend.
