The Brigitte Schloss Memorial Merit Award is to be presented annually to youth who are involved in the Moravian Church in a positive way. This award was renamed following the passing of Rev. Dr. Brigitte Schloss (1927-2013). See blog entries August 23, 2013, and October 3, 2007 for more information about Brigitte. This year there were three recipients: In Makkovik, Tobey Andersen (see photo) received the award for her assistance as a Sunday School teacher. She also attended congregational meetings and her input into discussion was very much appreciated. We wish her well as she heads to Ottawa for further education. In Nain, twelve year old Devin Dyson received the award. Devin is a member of the Nain brass band and has attended two workshops led by Dr. Tom Gordon and friends. It is wonderful that he shares his music by playing at church functions and other community events! In Happy Valley, Heather McLean has once again been nominated to receive the award. She received it in 2013 as well for her help with Sunday School and participation in church activities. Thank you to these youth who are doing their part to enrich the life of the church in their communities.
