The Rev. Carole A. Burns Memorial Scholarship Fund |
The Rev. Carole A. Burns Scholarship Fund was created
by the LSTC Gospel Choir in 2002 as their ministry project.
The Rev. Carole A. Burns, a choir member and one of the founding members of the Grover Wright Scholarship Fund, was the first female to preach and teach at a Diocesan assembly during the choir’s 1997 tour in Tanzania, East Africa. Rev. Burns was born into eternity on December 27, 2001. In honor of her life and gifts the LSTC Gospel Choir has established the Rev. Carole A.
