Evelyn Bedell Awards
Each Fall Missouri Union Presbytery recognizes the continuing contributions of older adults at both the congregation and Presbytery level by presenting Evelyn Bedell awards to outstanding “elders”. Christian disciples never outgrown God’s call to service. Help us recognize the faithfulness of a deserving older adult by nominating them for this award. The award is named for Evelyn Bedell, who demonstrated in her life, the energy, imagination, intelligence and love with which an older person can serve the church. At age 72, Evelyn came out of retirement to attend San Francisco Theological Seminary and was ordained as the “Tentmaker Pastor” for Bellflower Presbyterian Church and an Older Adult Worker in Missouri Union. She retired again in 1974 and entered the Church Triumphant in July 2010.
Nominations for the 2011 Evelyn Bedell Awards are now closed. They will be open again in late summer of 2012.
