Barbara Wills
Province V – Diocese of Indianapolis
We at Grace Church, Muncie, Indiana, think that Barbara Wills should be honored because she is a tireless servant with great leadership skills in the parish and the community.
She has served as Senior Warden for over 5 years. She co-chaired and worked on “Urban Day Camp” for middle school children in the downtown area; they learned to bake bread, plant trees and cook and had 3 meals a day.
A member of the Altar Guild, and The Order of Daughters of the King, Inc., she chaired a Technology Committee co-authoring Technology Grant for Grace Church. Barbara and her husband volunteer in the “Gathering Grace” program which began in 2008, and has grown, now serving 100-150 free hot meals every Sunday. Barbara has been there every Sunday.
She has been a member of Sacred Places Committee, helping to write grants to establish a commercial-grade kitchen in order to ensure the continuation of Gathering Grace and to assist in offering cooking classes to Second Harvest clients. Many applications for grants were submitted and our new kitchen is now completed, thanks, in part, to the work of Barbara Wills.
