Earle & Rosella Barclay were two humble, yet faithful servants of the Christian Church who served churches in many ways. After Mrs. Barclay died in 2006 at Ramsey Home in Des Moines, Ia, assets were given to the Christian Church Foundation to establish a permanent fund. Their daughter,Cheryl, wrote these words about her parents:
"Rosella got her love of the church from her mother Alice Furness. She was active in the Christian Church in Nora Springs, Ia. As a part of her church activities she came to Des Moines for a state church convention and saw Drake University. She said if she had a child he or she would Attend Drake, become a missionary and go to Africa and then she would go along and cook."
"After being married 17 years Rosella came along, grew up in the church and did graduate from Drake. She met Earle Barclay while in Drake and they were married. Earle felt he had a calling to the ministry so even though Rosella didn't go to Africa she became a 'missionary' in the Lord's work. Upon Alice's death Rosella inherited the Furness farm where she had grown up."
Mrs. Barclay had asked about establishing a permanent fund with the Christian Church Foundation with the interest each year going to the charities she would designate. A permanent fund gift agreement was signed, and upon her death, a percentage of her estate established the Earle and Rosella Barclay Permanent Fund with the Foundation.
Each year, Highland Park Christian Church in Des Moines, Drake University, Lexington Theological Seminary, Disciples of Christ Historical Society, and the Christian Church in the Upper Midwest receive a check from this fund. This will continue their commitment to the church for years to come--a commitment from servants of the Lord.
The Barclays' life and ministry show that is doesn't take wealthy people to do such good things. It only takes generous people. From the : Christian Church Foundation, Indianapolis, IN.
