Volunteers for the decades! That’s George and Lynne Walker.
For more than 20 years, George and Lynne have been faithful parishioners of Saint James’, raising their children in the church and generously sharing their time and talents with our parish family. Their son, Seldon, even went on to become a priest — he officiated at Father Ben and Laura’s wedding this past year!
Lynne has served as a leader of the Altar Guild for many years, faithfully giving her time despite a demanding nursing career. When her children were young, she also shared her gifts by teaching Children’s Church.
And behind much of Lynne’s service is George, always ready to lend a hand (and do the heavy lifting!). From hanging Christmas banners to taking down the boxwood backdrops and flowered cross at Easter, George has been a steady presence behind the scenes. He has also served multiple terms on the Vestry as junior warden and building manager. He currently serves as a chalice bearer.
Have you ever wondered who handles so much of the preparation and cleanup for our special church celebrations? Chances are, it’s the Walkers! For decades, George and Lynne have quietly and faithfully helped make Saint James’ the welcoming and beautiful place we all love.
Please join us in thanking George and Lynne Walker for their decades of dedication, generosity, and loving service to Saint James’!
