PELLETIER NAMED TO FELLOWSHIP OF CHRISTIAN STEWARDS

On Thursday, May 18, Dr. David Pelletier was honored by the Missouri Baptist Foundation when he was named to the 2017 class of Fellowship of Christian Stewards during an HLGU faculty/staff workshop.

The Missouri Baptist Foundation Board of Trustees established the Fellowship of Christian Stewards in 2001 as a way to present examples of Christian stewardship as a challenge to the Christian community. Those selected for the Fellowship of Christian Stewards encourage others to follow their example.

Recipients of the award are nominated to one of seven categories. Dr. Pelletier received the award for vocational achievement because of his many years of sacrificial service to Hannibal-LaGrange University.

Other award categories are Nelson fellow, charitable giving, estate stewardship, ministry achievement, emerging leader, and junior achievement.

The award included a $500 grant from the Missouri Baptist Foundation for Pelletier to share with the ministry or charity of his choice. After a few words on what HLGU means to him and how the University stands out among others, Dr. Pelletier presented the check to Dr. Allen to be used at Hannibal-LaGrange.

Dr. Pelletier retired from HLGU in 2015, after serving the institution for 29 years.
