Congratulations to Rev. Lara Scholey of Bethel Church, who received the Distinguished Leadership Award from Knox College, Toronto, on Nov. 5, 2014. The following is an excerpt from the Convocation bulletin:

“Lara is a motivational leader who enables others. Colleagues attest that Lara demonstrates a collegial, encouraging and collaborative leadership style that enables and empowers a congregation and the individuals in it to use their imaginations and share their talents. Her leadership clearly demonstrates that generosity follows mission. Lara has shared her leadership gifts on Presbytery committees, been Moderator of Synod and Convenor of PWS&D. Her peers admire her creativity, wise counsel, forthright manner and ability to draw the best out of people.”

Well deserved, Lara!
