St. Michael’s Vestry

Martha Willis, Treasurer

When Martha first attended St. Michael’s, the Church had not been built and  Sunday services were in the Parish Hall.  When the Church was built, the members of the congregation took part in making the rose window.  The rose window is very important to Martha.   At the start, each section of the window had clear glass in it.  Martha remembers that before the floor and pews were installed, she and other parishioners placed each section of the window on saw horses in the Church.   She remembers using a pattern placed under the glass,  gluing the colored glass onto the clear glass, putting the sections together and then placing the window in place!  She is still moved in being a part of the creation of the lovely stained glass window and the building ofour beautiful Church. After doing other things for awhile, Martha returned to St. Michael’s in 2007 and presently serves as Treasurer and a Vestry Member.  Martha is semi-retired and likes to read, swi and enjoy her grandchildren.
