First Person Summer Series Features Reverend Wendy Lambert
August 12, 2011
The Memorial Mission Statement describes the Memorial as a place that “. . . should evoke feelings of compassion and hope, and inspire visitors to live their lives more meaningfully.”
Join us this summer for a First Person: Stories of Hope program and hear from people whose stories not only meet that mission, but also allow us to experience history – and the Oklahoma Standard – from those who lived it. The First Person Summer Series, included free with Museum admission, is offered in the Museum’s Center for Education & Outreach on Fridays at 1:30 p.m. from June 3 to August 26.
Reverend Wendy Lambert, Family Member
1:30pm, Friday, August 12
Reverend Wendy Lambert was a physical therapist working with elderly patients in western Oklahoma when her father, Tom Hawthorne, was killed in the Murrah Building bombing. Today, she is Executive Pastor at St. Luke's United Methodist Church, located just a few blocks north of the bombing site. The church responded significantly on April 19, 1995, and the days following, providing food and shelter for first responders as well as assistance in a variety of other areas.
Lambert graduated cum laude from Perkins School of Theology at Southern Methodist University and also has a Master's Degree from Nebraska Medical Center.
