VOLUNTEER HIGHLIGHT
Did you know that for twenty years parishioner Jenny Meadows, who lives in New Zealand, has offered her time and talent as an editor to the Communications Ministry?
Twenty years ago, then Director of Communications Jeanie Garrett asked Jenny to help review the newsletter. Ever since, Jenny has been faithfully giving her time each week to edit various publications, even with a 17-hour time difference!
When Jenny lived in Austin she served in several ministries including the Parish Choir, kitchen team, Writers Group, Cold Weather Shelter, and played piano during Sunday services for the Trinity Center. After moving to New Zealand she remained active as a leader of GLEE (Gay, Lesbian, and Everyone Else fellowship group) and became part of the Steering Committee.
One of Jenny's favorite memories of her time at St. David's was volunteering at SXSW.
"I remember one singer coming through, carrying a glass of wine and talking on his cell phone. He looked at me and said, 'My girlfriend can’t believe I’m buying wine in a church. Here — you tell her.' I took the phone and told her we sold beer, too!
Can you see why I LOVE St. David’s?! There are so many activities and ways to offer one’s services … which to me makes it truly a church. And I get to meet so many like-minded people — thoughtful, creative activists, generous with their time and talents. "
Thank you Jenny for using your gifts to help us reach beyond our walls and share the ministries of St. David's with the world.
