The Reverend Rhoda Treherne-Thomas, a Hero

Our Hero: Mother Rhoda, (The Reverend Rhoda Treherne-Thomas, M.Div. Priest Associate) Firstly, I want you to know that she is a warm, erudite, cheerful and dedicated Theologian. She is one who seeks to nurture, encourage and edify all those around her. She is a delightful teacher, role model and mentor. Further, I'm sure that you've been lucky if you've heard one of her sermons, had a pastoral visit with her, or encountered her in the community. For a senior, five feet tall and about 100 lbs, she is huge in her impetus, fervor and delivery. We count ourselves lucky for her to be part of our church and the community. Most recently, in the line of duty, Mother Rhoda, as usual, with little regard for her personal safety, braving the elements, old age and going where ever her ministry takes her was mugged and suffered a broken hip. This is an attempt to thank her, in whatever small way, for her example and heart-felt sense of duty. I believe that in the least, she should be acknowledged as a self-less messenger of “The Good News,” not just by our church, but by all. God Speed your recovery, Mother Rhoda!
