In Memoriam
 
John R. Whitebread, C.M.C.E., of Berwick, Indiana, passed away on Sunday, February 9, 2025. John was a lifetime member of AUCE having served as the national AUCE Chairperson from 2006 to 2009 and as its Secretary from 2002 to 2005. Lisa Hart, longtime AUCE Board member remembers John: "John worked hard during his term as Chairperson, to connect AUCE and its membership to the ministries of the national setting of the United Church of Christ. Our AUCE meetings held at the national UCC offices certainly helped facilitate this networking."
We remember with fondness the life and ministry of John.
