"Saint Michael and All Angels has been a big part of our life together, beginning with being married in the Chapel 5 years ago and Ken becoming a member after being a lifelong Presbyterian. We have thoroughly enjoyed immersing ourselves in all parish activities and look forward to building stronger relationships with God and our friends here. We are excited about the future at Saint Michael and believe that focusing on all of the Vestry priorities will increase membership and enthusiasm for the church." — Stacey and Ken Malcomson
