The Emerson Award is presented each year to an individual or organization from the wider community whose work exemplifies the values and principles of liberal religion.
We honor Lady for her achievements in bringing people together across lines of race, religion, politics, economics and geography to work for meaningful change in our community, and for doing so with deep respect for all faith traditions, which she expresses in concert with her own abiding Christian faith.
We will have a reception for Lady following the service. If you can bring finger foods (cookies, vegetable and fruit trays, nuts, mints, chips and dips, cheese and crackers, or your own fancy appetizer specialties) please contact Cherrie Groves Moussaoui or Amanda Lawrence. They can also use help with set-up and clean-up.
