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.
