SHERRY DICKENS
Outreach Ministry’s Volunteer Recognition
Many members of this congregation give of their time, talents
and treasure help people, projects and organizations outside
the walls of First Lutheran. We notice and want them to know
that their efforts are appreciated. Each month we will recognize
a FLC individual or group of individuals that are doing
“God’s Work” in our community and beyond.
Sherry Dickens has been an active member both in and
outside of First Lutheran Church. She recently completed
the 2-year Diakonia program, the purpose of which is to
provide participants the opportunity to discover their
God- given gifts, strengthen their faith and their abilities,
and give them purpose within their own congregations,
synods, and the church-wide body of Christ. This program
is designed to equip God’s people for service in parish and
neighborhood ministries. She has been an active and
committed member of First for over 40 years, during
which time she spent several years working with the youth,
serving on Church Council and is currently the leader for
the Outreach Ministry team. Until March of this year she
also was Parish Secretary. In her spare time, she is active
in the Iowa SIDS Foundation and participates in the annual
walk in August in Bettendorf.
