Church ushers recognized

Two of the faithful ushers at Tehachapi Community Congregational UCC were honored during Sunday worship service on May 21. Jerry Jensen and Jim Carmichael were surprised when Pastor Nancy Bacon called them forward and thanked them for serving the church. Jensen, head usher, has served so long that he could not recall just how many years it had been. Carmichael remembered he has served for 5 years.

Ushers serve in many ways besides assisting in seating. They collect the offering, serve communion, and handle any complications that may arise during the service.

Pastor Nancy presented each man with a certificate of appreciation and a pendant with the church's symbol and motto, "that they may all be one."
