THANK YOU

We are happy to report that Rev. Tory's farewell gift arrived and was delivered to her at the end of June when she came to St. Stephen's for a wedding rehearsal.  The gift (a lime green Laybag) was well received and very quickly put to good use.  Rev Tory sends her thanks to the Parish for the gift.  She also sends her best wishes for a good summer.

(And, yes, she had a wonderful time in Ireland.)
