I have participated in Kairos weekends at the Aliceville Federal Prison for Women and now serve on that Kairos Advisory Board. In addition, I have attended Cursillo and Triennial. In other words, I am all into sharing love through the Episcopal Church. My tenure with UTO began with regular participation in Ingathering Sundays and moved on to being on the Diocese of Alabama's UTO committee. Eventually, I became the UTO Coordinator for the Diocese of Alabama. From there, I was appointed to the National UTO Board for Province VII and made many new friends and learned a lot about a province with which I was not familiar. It is exciting for me to now be working with the dioceses in the province of which I am a member! I have one daughter, two granddaughters, and two great-grandsons who are the joys of my life. I am filled with gratitude for this opportunity to serve God and the Episcopal Church.
