Cross Connections hosted its bi-annual Volunteer Appreciation Banquet on Sunday, March 13 at Emmanuel Lutheran Church, Fort Wayne.  Fifty-eight volunteers, staff and spouses enjoyed gathering music provided by Pastor Richard Koehneke while feasting on delicious appetizers prepared by Sonya Eggold.  Dinner (also prepared by Sonya) was served by members of Emmanuel's senior high youth group.  

The featured speaker for the banquet was Pastor Art Klausmeier, pastor emeritus of Emmanuel Lutheran Church and former Lutheran Foundation grant advisor.  Pastor Klausmeier shared a message of Heartfelt Thanks to You from Philippians 1:3-5.  He presented scripture rocks to all attending.  

Cross Connections founders Terrie Ensley and Kathy Eggold along with Covenant Partner Supervisor Amy Rast recognized all volunteers who have contributed to the ministry in the last two years.  We are thankful for all who serve this ministry!
