Martin and Anne have been members of CUMC since August 2001 and have three children -- Jonathan, James and Kate. They are members of the All Things Considered Adult Sunday school class. Martin is involved in Methodist Men. Anne has been a volunteer for Vacation Bible School and both have taken Disciple Bible Study classes.

The Lombards were selected as Ministry Stars because of their dedicated devotion to Project Hope. They are Family Coaches and were recommended for this honor by Jana Grimone, Director of Project Hope. Jana states that the Lombards give so much hope and encouragement to the families they are working with, and always take the time to work with them in every way possible. We know these families have gained so much!

When you see the Lombards around church, please take the time to stop and tell them, “Thanks for a job well done!” Congratulations to you both!
