I have 2 grown children (Leah and Keith), a great son-in-law and daughter-in-law and 2 beautiful grandchildren. St David’s is a great parish and I am so grateful to be a part of it.

Taylor is finishing up classes in elementary education at Oakland Community College.  Taylor hopes to bring youth and a sense of energy to the Vestry. She hopes to have fresh, new ideas for people and is looking forward to getting more involved at St. David’s. The Administration Commission of the Vestry interests her most.

At St. David’s, Ray has been helping with the upkeep of our kitchen and also joined the recently formed Men’s Group. He is looking forward to serving on the Vestry. The building and grounds aspect of the vestry is the part that is most appealing to him, but Ray added, “I’ll do my best to help wherever I can.”
