A few weeks ago you were introduced to a new group of Elders and Deacons as they were installed into their leadership responsibilities for our church. Each leader commits to a three-year term and can serve two consecutive terms. In the coming weeks we would like you to meet our new leaders.

Eileen Neville Eileen comes from Marietta, Ohio, a small town in the southeastern part of the state. It was here that she met her husband Mel, whom she has been married to for 54 years. They have 3 grown children and 4 grandchildren, whom they love spending time with. Their family moved to Ranch Bernardo 35 years ago, and she and Mel started attending RB Community shortly thereafter. She graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in Child Development/Elementary Education. After teaching for a number of years and their children arrived, she was fortunate enough to be a stay-at-home Mom until they got older. Eileen spent 20 years working as a Medical Assistant in a very busy Family Practice office until she retired in 2013. This is Eileen’s second term as a Deacon. She has been involved in numerous activities at RB Community. For many years she served as an usher, greeter, and Communion server at the contemporary service on Saturday night. She made home visitations to church members for the Parish Nurse. She enjoyed working at the church thrift shop for many years. During the Pandemic, Eileen was part of a team that regularly called church attendees to see if they needed any kind of assistance. Eileen believes that Deacons are truly the hands and heart of the church, and she has missed the many opportunities that being a Deacon provides for helping people in our church and supporting our community.
