Saying Thank You

Fellow Builders in Ministry,

For those of us who attended SC in the past fourteen years, the name Steve Rankin is a familiar one to us. During our time at SC, many people poured into our lives and helped us find our calling, challenged us in the classroom, pushed us to be more than status quo, and filled out endless letters of recommendation for our current jobs, graduate school, etc. If you are like me, you cannot imagine being a Builder in Ministry without the influence of Steve Rankin. This information went out several weeks ago and I hope you received it, however, if you were missed we want you to experience the opportunity to join us now. As Steve and Joni’s time draws near, I am reminded of the importance of saying thank you to those who deeply impact our faith journey and academic endeavors. I hope you will find this a worthy cause to join.

As many of you know, Steve Rankin accepted a position at Southern Methodist University where he will be serving as a Chaplain. We the staff at FUMC, Winfield, (including me for the summer) would like to surprise Steve and Joni with a gift in their parting. In order to honor their ministry and work in Winfield, we would like to compile an album of letters from friends, family, co-workers and former students. It is our desire for you to write a letter of appreciation, thanksgiving, memories, or whatever you deem appropriate as we see Steve and Joni off to Dallas. We are inviting you to either send us a handwritten letter or a letter via e-mail for the album. Then, we ask you to forward this e-mail to anyone you know may be interested in contributing to this gift. We will not be reading your letters, rather simply compiling them into a gift Steve and Joni will be able to visit again and again. Please submit letters by June 20.

Please send letters to
Wendy Mohler
C/O FUMC 1000 Millington
