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!
