Meet Glen and Karen Anderson
Q: How long have you been members (of the church) and how did you choose St. Mary's for your church community? A: We have been members for over a year. We were married at St. Mary's 33 years ago. When we were recently searching for a new church community, we attended several services here and felt so welcomed by the parishioners and clergy. St. Mary's acceptance of all people, their commitment to the Earth and all God's creatures is evident in activities and weekly prayers.

Q: You have already been involved in many activities at St. Mary's. Tell us what you’ve been doing. A. There are so many opportunities to become involved. We have volunteered in services and we enjoy working on the social events such as the Veterans' Breakfast, Trunk or Treat and the Summer Cookout. Q: Which church season or holiday is your favorite and why? A. We both enjoy the Christmas holidays. The music and celebrations throughout the season are so joyous. Q: How would you describe the St. Mary's community to others who may be looking for a church? A. St. Mary's offers newcomers wonderful ways to meet other church members through several receptions hosted in parishioners' homes and at church. We have found Fr. Michael, our rector, to be kind, approachable and a wonderful spiritual leader.
