CONGRATULATIONS TO OUR 2010 QUIET DISCIPLE


Joan Buresh

Joan Buresh can usually be seen when there is a gathering which involves feeding a hungry crowd. She is busy keeping the coffee flowing and the volunteers functioning. However, that is the tip of the iceberg. Joan shops for needed supplies. She recruits volunteers for each event. She is one of only a few who know where everything in the several kitchens is stored and how every piece of equipment works.

A member since 1966, Joan has served on and chaired the Staff Parish Relations Committee and also chaired the Administrative Council. She is a three-term member of the Trustees and has been Lay Leader for the past five years. She has been a Caring Disciple since the inception of that ministry.

Joan has also busied herself in service to the community on the Allocations Committee of United Way, the Board of Mile Hi Girl Scouts, and as an American Cancer Society volunteer.

It is our privilege to honor Joan Buresh as our 2010 Quiet Disciple.

CONGRATULATIONS TO
MELANE THEILEN

The UMW was proud to honor Melane Theilen with its Mission Recognition award during the festivities of the Feb. 12 Candlelight Dinner. This award is given to a person who had been a leader and inspiration for the women and all church members.

Melane was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and the family moved to College Station, Texas. She is a graduate of Texas A&M, where she met and married her husband Ross.

When the Theilens moved to Denver, they looked for a church that had Disciples classes, and became teachers for the classes here at University Park. They also teach the young parents class on Sunday mornings. Melane has organized the “Casserole Brigade” for the families with newborn children.  She and Ross have three boys, 4,2 and 1.  Congratulations to Melane Theilen!
