An example of church member’s faithfulness at Brookhaven UMC was evident when the Atlanta area had been hit with a major ice storm one winter. Ice was everywhere on the church property and in particular was on the sloped driveway leading to the Child Development Center (CDC). There was a large swath of thick ice in this area that would be dangerous for the children, parents, and teachers arriving at the CDC on Monday morning. I don’t recall why but for some reason I went over to the church and noticed that three church members were busy assessing how they could remove the ice. Two of the church members present, Red Warwick and Dorsey Britt, were in their 80’s at the time but that didn’t seem to stop them from trying to make the area safe to walk on. They got their shovels and picks out and started to break up the ice. Another church member, John Fields, also helped and started applying salt to the area once the ice had been substantially removed. I was just amazed that these men had the foresight to know how dangerous this ice would be in entering the CDC and then to actually to do something about it. You could tell from them seeing them work that this wasn’t the first time they had given of their time and talent to their church. Such committed and faithful members for sure.
