Essex, Iowa, church receives community award
Faith Covenant Church in Essex, Iowa, received the
"Community Sponsor of the Year" award at the annual meeting of the
Essex Community Club. Cited for their
service to the community during the annual Labor Day festivities (the church
serves dinner on Labor Day Sunday and several members volunteer their time
during the weekend that sees Essex grow to at least twice its usual size of
about 800).
The church was also honored for their spiritual outreach to the community. Pastor Jim
Ressegieu accepted the award and thanked the church for its wonderful community
spirit. Several members of the
congregation were present at the Community Club meeting.
