Bp. Ahrens led Ministry Celebration and Official Welcome
The Rt. Rev. Laura Ahrens, our Bishop Suffragan, led A Celebration of Mutual Ministry with the Welcoming of the Rev. Mark Santucci as Priest-in-Charge on this past October 21.  The service featured Bp. Ahrens as our celebrant, guest preacher The Rev. Virginia Army, favorite hymns and trumpet music from our own Paul McGlinchey. This was our chance to rejoice in the ministry we all share, and give thanks for the appointment of Mark as our official Priest-in-Charge.
The well-attended celebration was followed by a reception in Martin Hall.
This was a time to recognize the Godly work we all share here at Grace Church.
