Bill SelfBill joined Duke Memorial as a member in September of 1961! He was a dedicated member of The Open Door Sunday School Class and served at Duke Memorial on almost every committee; Church Council, Finance, Trustees, Staff Parish and Capital Campaign Teams, to name a few.
In 2008, Bill and Barbara endowed the New Initiatives Fund with the purpose to create welcoming, caring spaces for new people. In recent years, the fund helped launch several initiatives, including Worshipful Wednesdays and the Monday Night Grief Group. When Bill was asked by Legacy Chair Fuller Sasser if they wanted oversight on how the fund was used, Bill replied, "No, I trust the leadership of the church to use the gift wisely." Please send your words of love and prayers of support to Barbara Self, 2600 Croasdaile Farm Parkway, Durham NC 27705. |
