You’ll find some great inspiration and cutting-edge information about ministry that affects us all.

Kahla Snapp Sue Atkinson Award Recipient 

Kahla came to Brownsburg in 1959 and has been active in Cal‐vary United Methodist at three different Brownsburg locations.  

Since 1980 she has been active in scheduling, preparing, and set‐up of funeral dinners.  The majority of the dinners are in Fellowship Hall, however, due to special circumstances some have been taken to different locations on request.  Kahla attrib‐utes the success of these funeral dinners to the homemakers at Calvary United Methodist.  These women are always ready to prepare and contribute a salad, a dessert or one of their spe‐cialty dishes on short notice.  Kahla then completes the meal menu and schedules the necessary help required for set‐up, serving, and clean up.  

Kahla has also served as Sunday school teacher (4 year olds) for about 30 years, communion preparer, Bible school teacher for several years and a member of United Methodist Women.
