We are a diverse group. We are children, parents, and grandparents. We go to school, work, and are retired. We grew up in the Church, we are new to the Church. We have always worshiped in the Episcopal Chruch, we have been Roman Catholic, Baptist, skeptical, and had no active faith at all. We still ask a lot of questions and challenge one another. But we all have a lot of fun together. We pray, work, laugh, sing, and support each other the best that we can.
