Vickie Ancona, Clerk, 455-4183 (days), vwa[at]ams.org
I have been a member of Trinity Church for the last nine years. Having sung in various choirs over the years, it was an easy first step in getting to know people at Trinity by joining the choir. It is said that "Those who sing, pray twice" and I've found that to be true. In addition to choir, I participate in Bible study and TAG. I've also volunteered for coffee hour and attended healing services. I am honored to serve as Clerk of the Vestry.
