The Rt. Rev. Rayford B. High, Jr., visited St. Martin in the Fields Episcopal Church, Keller, on Sunday, November 9, 2014. Two were baptised, Leslie Fowles and Nicholas Hardman. The bishop received three, Kathy Wilkinson, Gary Wilkinson and John Dumbleton, and confirmed four, Leslie Fowles, Heather Wilson, April Elliott, and Gregory Anderson.
It was also the last Sunday for the Rev. Mike Wallens, who has been the interim rector at St. Martin’s. The parish will be calling a rector soon. The parish marked the occasion with a Litany of Farewell for the End of the Interim Journey.
There was a reception afterward for those baptised, confirmed, and received, and also for Wallens. After the reception, Bishop High and others joined the Episcopal Youth Community (EYC) of St. Martin’s in making sandwiches for the Union Gospel Mission of Tarrant County. The second Sunday of the month is Service Sunday at St. Martin’s.
