  A Speical Gift in Honor of Skip Beck

  The family of Skip Beck made a significant contribution to our One Church Street Project in memory of Skip on October 16, 2020, Skip's birthday. We are grateful for their support and for this very special way that we can remember Skip's commitment to our NOAH Program and our church. We continue to miss his generosity, his dedication and his presence, and we are thankful to have Skip's family as partners in a project that Skip would have loved to be a part of.
