Trinity has been deeply blessed to have Mother Cheryl serving as our Associate Rector for the past five years. Mother Cheryl has made Trinity brighter with her playful sense of humor, positive attitude, steady work ethic, boundless crafting and cooking skills, and her willingness to vulnerably share her life experiences with us.
There will be a large basket for cards or cash gifts at Mother Cheryl’s celebration. Please take the time to acknowledge your appreciation and your best wishes to her and her husband, Ron.
We give you thanks, most gracious God, for your servant Cheryl and the many gifts she has shared with us. We pray that among all the changes and chances of this mortal life, she and her loved ones may ever be defended by your gracious and ready help; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
