Patty Schaber, although not a member of the church, gives it much loving attention every week as church custodian.  Patty notices minor problems that no one else notices, then quietly resolves them on her own.  Her positive and hard-working attitude is a gift to the entire congregation, and she is greatly appreciated. 

 

 

 

 

 Lelia Smith provides beautiful instrumental music for church services, accompanying both the choir and the congregation.  She was the driving force behind the purchase of a new, computerized keyboard in 2006, which produces a variety of wonderful sounds, from harpsichord to gospel beat, thanks to Lelia's talented musicianship.  She is a long-time member of the church, who lives in Cheney with her family.

  

Marian Whitfield serves as church secretary.  A former teacher, Marian returned to her hometown of Cheney in 2005 and began working at the church in May, 2006.  She types, edits, lays out and prints Table Talk, our monthly newsletter, as well as producing the Sunday bulletins and doing all the day-to-day office tasks.  Marian grew up in this church and especially enjoys singing in the choir.
