A GIFT OF LOVE
Jim and Mildred Cook were faithful members of St. Paul’s for many years. Throughout those years, Jim and Mildred demonstrated their love for Christ and for their church by giving unselfishly of their time and talents to the work of the Lord.
Jim’s engineering background was called upon regularly, and in his quiet manner he provided the leadership for many property maintenance and improvement programs.
Mildred’s secretarial and business experience manifested itself in her assistance in the church office, and in the fact that there was no one who knew our church’s constitution and by-laws like Mildred.
In the waning years of their lives, they took on the challenge of writing this Chronicle of St. Paul’s with the same enthusiasm that they had exhibited throughout their many years in the Lord’s vineyard. This work has now become their legacy for all of us.
After Jim’s death in 1993, Mildred undertook the completion of this work, and finished her efforts just a few days before her death in 1997.
This Chronicle is most certainly an act of love—love of God—love of Church—and love of each of us who shares in the blessing of Jim and Mildred’s tireless efforts.
We are truly grateful!
