Barbara Groh CHUM Volunteers You will find Barbara Groh at the 9:40am service if you don’t find her in the basement in the Children’s area. When one of her grandchildren (Ellie or Addie Groh) are the acolytes you will find her in the 11:00am service. She wouldn’t miss them lighting candles for that service! Barb has been attending CHUM for about 12 years - she thinks! Before her retirement, Barb was an elementary classroom teacher and also a Special Education classroom teacher. We appreciate Barbara volunteering many hours in the past years teaching the 3-4 year old Sunday School class. Well there are many things we don’t know about Barb. She is WILD about gooseberry pie and walking in the rain! She enjoys attending Tuesdays on the Terrace during the summers at Botanica. She was a tennis star in “her day”. Quite the woman! Something else you may not be aware of is that she spent several years as a sponsor for child abuse prevention and was on the Kansas State Board for Prevention of Child Abuse. Thanks Barbara for all you do for CHUM kids and for Kansas kids!
