OUR PASTOR RICHELLE IS HONORED WITH AN AWARD: CLICK THIS LINK:
"Basically, since coming to Auburn, she's quietly gone about the work of being an outstanding representative of the church in the community," said Laurel Ullyette, community liaison for the Auburn/Cayuga NAACP, of why Rev. Goff was selected for the award.Rev. Goff has been at Auburn UMC since 2008.
 
"I was a little shocked," Rev. Goff said of learning she'd be named a Millenium Award honoree. "I was honored and very humbled to have been chosen."
She said that she and her church "try to be as active as we can in the community."
 
"She's been actively involved in and a wonderful support" for efforts such as the local food pantries and organizations such as Alcoholics Anonymous, Gamblers Anonymous and others. And, Ullyette said, Rev. Goff's opened the church to these groups to use as meeting space.
 
Ullyette said the Millennium Award honors the values and work of Dr. King by celebrating those who are "working to help others and sharing what they have to bring others along."
 
Rev. Goff has also taken part in the facilitator training for the branch's Community Dialog to End Racism program, Ullyette said. The program is based on the Syracuse Interfaith Works' Community Wide Dialogue to End Racism.
 
The program brings together small groups, eight to 10 people, with two facilitators – generally one white and one a person of color – to have "open, honest conversation about racism" and "share perspectives, share experiences and what it feels like from each side."
 
"(Rev. Goff's) been wonderfully cooperative and very sincere; she's really interested in reaching across all kinds of barriers," said Ullyette, who said that Rev. Goff has allowed the dialog group to use the church as a training site.
 
Her congregation, Rev. Goff said, doesn't reflect its neighborhood, which is predominantly African American, so the church makes an effort to "bridge the color divide."
That is one reason she opted to take the Community Dialog facilitator training.
 
"The community is very segregated still," she said. "There are strides being taken by community members to alleviate issues in community, but there is still a lot of misunderstanding."
The dialog circles, she said, are another way to help bring some understanding.
 
Rev. Goff and the other honorees will be celebrated at a luncheon on Jan. 23. This is the 14th anniversary of the Millennium Award. The luncheon will take place from noon to 1:30 p.m. at the Sunset Restaurant in Auburn.
 
Also being honored are: Mettis Jacobs, Diana Jacobs, Krista Martin and Patricia Shine. In addition, a former member of the Auburn/Cayuga Branch NAACP Board of Directors, Naomi Post Fletcher, will be inducted into the local branch's Hall of Fame.
 
Rev. Goff also participated in a citywide celebration of Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy on Sunday, Jan. 20.
 
It was really wonderful to have been asked to do that, to share the message that evening," she said, but added that it was disappointing that more people did not turn out.  
 
"It shows we need to continue the work," she said
 
Ullyette recalled a quote from one of Rev. Goff's parishioners that she heard when the NAACP was doing research on Rev. Goff.
 
"She said (Rev. Goff's) the most supportive pastor she's ever worked with. Isn't that great?" Ullyette said. "We need more like her."
