Jeanette Regan is presented with the award by Carol Chiodo. The event took place in The Little White Church as family and friends looked on.
Woman of the Year Award
An Honorary Life Membership in Presbyterian Women, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.),
is conferred upon an individual in recognition of faithful service in some area
of church work. Moderators, leaders, teachers, officers, pastors, and
missionaries have been among the recipients of this honor. This year's Life
Membership was given to Janette Regan!
The symbol of the Life Membership pin represents and portrays the qualities of
persons deserving the honor and recognition of an Honorary Life Membership. The
following are some meanings found in the symbol:
The caring, supportive hands represent women who seek to build an inclusive
community of Presbyterian Women.
The leaf represents growth of our personal and corporate response to Jesus
Christ as we nurture our faith.
The dove indicates our work for peace in our own lives and throughout the world,
shown in the globe.
At the center of the design is the cross, by which our sin are forgiven and we
are freed to
live in Christ who is at the center
of our lives.
The overall design is of a butterfly, a symbol of newness in Christ and the
emergence of a new creation - Presbyterian Women.
