AUBURN — The First Universalist Church of Auburn has awarded its 2012 Rose Window honor to Lynn Eldridge, whose efforts have made a significant impact on the health and vibrancy of her church. This annual award cites members who have been outstanding models of Unitarian Universalist principles and recognizes their exceptional contributions to the faith community.

Throughout her membership Eldridge has demonstrated how to personify the liberal religious vision of truth, justice and love through her many deeds. Lynn’s particular ministry has been the Religious Exploration program. Putting her time and energy where her passion is, she teaches the children nearly every Sunday. Eldridge also serves on the RE committee, bringing the clarity and wisdom that comes with a long history of working with the program.

“When I consider Lynn,” said Rev. Jodi Hayashida, “I see someone who believed in the value of a particular program, and understood that believing in a vision for that program wasn’t enough. It requires effort and work on the part of many to make the vision a reality.”
