Rupert Kirk, Fr. Greg and Lena Malony
We had a joyful worship service on Sunday, June 13 to celebrate St. Mark's 80th Anniversary! Our Christ Church congregation (second point in the parish) joined us for the day.
During the service, the 2010 Order of St. Mark was bestowed on Lena Malony and Rupert Kirk, two long serving members of the church.
Lena has been a member of St. Mark's and head of the Altar Guild longer than she can remember! Our Rector, Greg Gilson, commented that he thinks she lives at the church sometimes because we can find her there almost anytime doing something; in the kitchen getting food ready, cleaning silver, ironing linens, at choir practice, with the ACW or Sunday School or any of the other various things Lena always does without being asked.
Rupert is a long time Lay Reader, member of parish vestry and alternate Lay Delegate to Synod. He is also one of the people that is regularly called on to 'take a look at..." and willingly grabs his hammer at the first opportunity as needed.
Members of the Community Ecumenical Choir also joined our regular choir for the service and the choir provided a wonderful leadership in music. In addition to two anthems they also provided a special antiphone for the psalm and participated with regular worship music.
