Graduates Recognition
Our 2018 graduate is Benjamin Michael Oesterling, son of Doreen (Oesterling) Graves. Ben grew up in our church. He was baptized here at First Presbyterian Church in 1988 and was confirmed in 2002. Ben is a North Decatur High School graduate of 2005. He went on to graduate from Hanover College in 2009 with a Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry; then on to Midwestern University, College of Health Sciences in Chicago where he earned a Master’s degree in Biomedical Science in 2014. Ben will graduate and receive his doctorate on May 24, 2018 from Midwestern University Chicago, College of Osteopathic Medicine, Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine.
 
Message from Ben’s mother, Doreen (Oesterling) Graves: Ben and his family would like to thank everyone at First Presbyterian Church for all the support and financial assistance given to him, and they are grateful for your help in raising him to be the person that he is today.  This congregation will forever be in his heart.
(A full detailed write-up of Ben on his studies and future plans will be included in the June Newsletter.)
 
A Graduates Recognition will take place this Sunday, May 20, during the worship service. The service will be followed by a pitch-in dinner.
