DEACON LU WATKINS
The first words that come to mind when I hear his name is, “Good and Faithful Servant.”
Lu was honored on Sunday Dec. 5, for his ten years of service to St. Thomas' Church. The reception was held in the Curry Garden at the church. Father Chris Schuller presented Lu with gifts from the Church. Many members were there to wish him well in his retirement.
Refreshments were served by Beth Bennett.
As Eucharistic Minister, I had the honor of serving with Lu for eight of those years and I always found him to be a serene island. A calm and meditative person filled with a spirit of peace and love of God as he went about vesting for the service. He was an example for all of us to prepare ourselves in the Spirit before coming to Gods Altar.
Lu, we wish you good health and God speed in your new ventures.
