Circle Of Love Honors Ed & Betty Ruder
Filed under: Newsletter |
On October 31 2010 the Circle of Love board, staff and residents honored Dr. Ed and Rev. Betty Ruder for their love, support, and care for the homeless men in Jacksonville over the last 29 years.
While the Ruders have retired from being Pastor, Director, President and Vice President they remain on the Board of Directors and we had a special time of celebration for them and all they have done over the years.
During the morning worship service, the COL was joined by the New Hope Church congregation with Pastor Vic and his Wife Nancy. We had a wonderful time with the COL choir singing and Pastor Tom bringing a message on one of Ed’s favorite verses: Old things have passed away, all things have become new (II Corinthians 5:17) and we had a formal ceremony where the chapel was renamed The Ruder Chapel.
Afterwards we had dinner on the grounds, served with the help of the good people of New Hope Church, and a good time was had by all. God bless you Ed and Betty Ruder and thank you for all you have done!
