Bishop's Mission Corps returns to Grace

By Jud


The Bishop's Mission Corps, a group of young people living at Gray Center for six weeks under the Rule of St. Benedict, has begun its third summer there. The group is led this summer by C. J. Meaders, III. C. J. has just completed nine months of life under Benedict's Rule while in Aberdeen, MS. The group members this summer are Andrew McClarty, Chris Hanna, Natalie Walden, and Lawrence Wainwright. They will once again be working in Canton three mornings a week at Grace Church with the Adolescent Offender Program. They will be worshiping both at Grace and at other Episcopal churches in the area. We welcome them once again and give thanks for their ministry among us. Please welcome them heartily and keep them in your prayers. I'm also sure they would love the chance to dine with you and tell you more about who they are and what they are doing.
