The Rev. Deacon Marcus Crim: Deacon
Marcus joins us as an ordained deacon in the Episcopal Church. The deacon usually 'sets the table' for Eucharist and reads the Gospel. As we get to know Marcus better and he us - he will decide in which ministries he would like to be involved. Please do introduce yourself on Sunday morning.
Here is a short bio from Marcus: I grew up in a small town in northern Louisiana going to the Episcopal Church. As a teenager I moved to San Francisco, California, and lived there, mostly, for my adult life. About 2 years ago I moved to St Petersburg to be nearer to my mother and sister. I served as the Deacon at St. Bede's church until just recently. I have enjoyed visiting St. Alban's periodically over the last couple of years. I particularly like the spirit of inclusiveness and the celebration of tradition and diversity in the liturgy. The guidance and leadership of Rev Gigi in her preaching and knowledge of the scriptures is a key reason that led me to want to serve as deacon at St. Alban's.
I hope to get to know you all and look forward to serving with you in your many wonderful and diverse ministries.
Thank you and may God bless us all in our new church year!

The Vestry
The vestry is the governing board of the church. Members typically are elected to serve three year terms. At monthly meetings the vestry reviews and takes action on accounting matters, the physical plant, and spiritual well-being of the parish. Working closely with the priest-in-charge, the vestry provides an energized core group who advocate tirelessly for the parish, the community, and beyond.
