Congratulations Shirley
Shirley Cookson
Shirley Cookson has seen a lot of changes at First Baptist during 47 years as church secretary. There have been 12 different ministers, associate ministers, assistant ministers, and interim ministers; 8 music directors; and 9 custodians.
Shirley has seen changes in office technology: from a manual typewriter, to an electric typewriter, to a word processor, to a computer/laptop. There used to be a separate folding machine, a scanner, and a collating machine that were all needed to produce bulletins, reports, minutes, etc. Now she accomplishes everything using one machine and a computer.
On Sunday, April 21st we will be celebrating the 47 years that Shirley Cookson has been our church secretary.
Please plan to stay for a potluck and celebration after church on Sunday April 21st.
We thank Shirley for her dedication, friendly nature, and knowledge of our church and the families within it.
We wish Shirley all the best in her new phase of life.
