Media and Communications Liaison, Abigail Denney Raffield

Dear Church Family,

I wish to announce some sad news for our Church Family and Staff. Abigail Raffield has been on our staff at Shalimar UMC for nearly a year and a half coordinating our communications ministries. I had a conversation with Abbey this week and she shared with me her resignation from her position on the church staff. To assist her as she seeks further employment in her field, I encouraged her to move forward without need for serving out a notice period in the offices.

I am deeply thankful for Abbey and her ministry with Shalimar. She sought to bring clarity and innovation to our communications processes, and I was glad to have worked with her for the short time that I have been here at the church. As you see her, please encourage her as she takes these next steps in her career. Also pray for her as she is in her search for the next communications position.

If I can help you with any questions about this change in our staff, please feel free to contact me at the church office or on my cell phone, (251) 747-3567.

In Christ,

Rev. Dr. Alan McBride, Lead Pastor
