This weekend several members of the VTS Community made the journey to Grace Episcopal Church, Holland, in Michigan, to present Carol P. Myers with the Lettie Pate Whitehead Evans Award. This is an award given to a layperson who has given leadership and witness to the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ within their ministry setting. Carol is well known to the VTS community and we have benefited from her ministry.
VTS has the largest and finest collection of St. Nicholas themed items. This extraordinary gift was made possible by the ministry of Carol Myers. Her interest in St. Nicholas is life long. The website that she created has over a million visitors a year. Thousands of people know more about the saint behind Santa thanks to Carol. It is an extraordinary and important legacy.
It was a joy to be with Carol and David Myers. We are grateful that she accepted this honor. We are proud of her connection with Virginia Theological Seminary
