Please consider adding to a gift for Jeffry to take with him into his new parish.
Jeffry was appointed to the cabinet in 2018 and was just getting started when COVID hit. His role quickly shifted to one of holding the churches together in community. Jeffry's faith and encouragement during that time and beyond has been a gift to us all.
