Wilmer Hall welcomes new director of development
Many thanks to Mae Dennis, who has served as Wilmer Hall's director of development for the last five years. In her tenure, she has furthered their mission of helping underserved young people in our community through residential and educational programs, as well as increased fundraising and communications efforts in the community. We wish her the best as she and her family embark on a new adventure in Texas.
We are also very excited to introduce Mindy Inge as their new director of development. Mindy was most recently at St. Paul's Episcopal Church, where she taught in the Early Education Center. Prior to that, she was the event coordinator for The American Equity Underwriters. Mindy has also recently served two terms on the Wilmer Hall board of trustees, where she has chaired fundraisers, raised important funds and helped further Wilmer Hall's 158-year-old mission. She is a member of St. Paul's Episcopal Church. She is married to David, and they have two sons, Gordon and Owens.
Thank you Mae, and welcome, Mindy!

Centered: A Christian Discipleship Series
Centered is a discipleship series guiding small, gathered communities to get deeply rooted in love with God and one another, so that we grow to look, act, and love more like Jesus. The experience includes an initial three-session training for group facilitators and a core of nine sessions where church members, neighbors, and friends gather to share a meal and prayer; explore a short film and questions about God, belonging and living a meaningful life; and support each other in committing to intentionally center their lives on Jesus and his Way of Love.
This offering is made possible through the work of The Episcopal Church, in collaboration with the Anglican Communion’s Intentional Discipleship Coordinating Group, with a grant from the United Thank Offering.
