Faith Watson
Faith Watson served as a deacon in the parish in the late 1980s and had world-wide impact. You can read her obituary here.
Adele Davidson on Faith: "She was quite an amazing person and did a lot of good in the world. People used to be a bit confused and amused in the parish when problems or issues would come up and the rector would say that those things would be taken care of by Faith."

| Free Fundraiser | | Gift Cards from Kroger
Do you purchase gift cards for Christmas gifts? Did you know that if you buy them from Kroger, the parish receives Community Rewards funds? This includes gift cards for any retailer other than Kroger and Visa/MasterCard. Just be sure to scan your Kroger Plus card when you make your purchase. Also, if you frequent any of the retailers, consider purchasing a gift card at Kroger to use at the establishment yourself. That means the parish receives even more Community Rewards funds! |
