However the desire for an Episcopal witness did not die but lay dormant until Phoenix-like it surfaced and rose in 1956 through the faith and commitment of Ed and Mary Ann Boss, Hugh Fuller, Dr. and Mrs Hill, along with the Irwins, the Axons, Sally Cain, Ron Mallory and Mrs Cooper. Before long the historic Fox House was purchased and later a beautiful church was built. They had a purpose and a plan. Rector's Reflection by Reverend Marcia Hunter

Will you be my Valentine?" For many of us our formal "yes" to that question began at the font, but our movement to the font was preceded by intention-ours, our parents or guardians. God's love was already active calling us to the water and to be marked as Christ's own forever. Read more |
