This Tribute will be comprised of expressions of appreciation by Church organizations, members and friends of Peoples Church, the wider United Church of Christ family, as well as, community officials and dignitaries. A Reception will follow in the Fellowship Hall. Love offerings for Rev. Cannon will be received during the Reception.
A Memory Book is being compiled by the Event Planners to preserve messages and photos for Rev. Cannon as a keepsake from her years of devoted service.
