Hi there, my name is Tony Burgess (my friends call me T-Bird) from Chattanooga, Tennessee, USA. I am a believer, bleeding heart, idealist, and blogger. I'm married to Laura the Soup Diva and a dog dad to Frankie, Cody, and Mikey. Daily I work for a blood bank recruiting donors. My blog is where I chronicle and curate the sacred, serious, and silly things in my life. I am a member of The Episcopal Church. Thank you for connecting with me. Grace, peace, and love!

So Now I Am On The Vestry

Today I was elected by my fellow parishioners at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church to serve on the Vestry class of 2019. The Vestry is the servant/leadership body of the local parish. I would like to thank all my fellow parishioners for their faith and confidence in me to serve/lead in our terrific church. I am excited to be elected/chosen and to serve with Cassandra Lynch, Kim Kilgore and Anne Kearney Spratt who were also elected today. Thanks to Fr. Quinn Parman for his continued leadership as our Priest/Rector.
