Welcome to Lydia, Catherine, & Jena (center). They were joined by Garland and Courtenay from the chapter for the event. Thanks to Kat, Martha, Peggy, & Dawn who worked with the new girls and the chapter during their training. Thanks to Mother Jan who officiated at St. Chad's. The installation of these young ladies reminds us that we are indeed Mothers and Sisters and Daughters of each other and charged with the mutual up-building and encouragement of each other. See the Varieties of Gifts blog for more thoughts about this.
All Chapters should prayerfully consider including younger women and even girls in their chapter activities. It only takes 3 girls (7-21 years old) to form a chapter. These can even be non-Episcopal girls, so it is a great evangelism tool for both the girls in your parish and your chapter.
