Welcome Kathy Lester

Christ Church is pleased to welcome Kathy Lester as our new parish administrator. Kathy grew up in the Northeast section of Philadelphia. After attending the local Diocesan schools, she continued her education at Pierce College and began her career at Moss Rehabilitation Hospital. Following a period at home raising her daughters, she continued to work at several medical institutions, preparing her for a successful 20-year tenure at GlaxoSmithKline. Upon her retirement from GSK, she served as the parish administrator at St. Dunstan’s Episcopal Church in Blue Bell before its closure in April, 2024.


Kathy lives in King of Prussia. She is the proud mother of two daughters, two grandchildren, and several grandcats and granddogs. In her free time, she likes reading, movies, and exercise. She enjoyed meeting members of the Christ Church community at our parish dinner in February, including the Gould’s dog, Edwin.

Lenten Soup Ministry

Twenty-six quarts of soup were delivered last week to The Great Valley Food Cupboard and The Highland Community Food Pantry. Soup cooks included George & Betsy Comstock, Lori Dugan, Pam Faber, Nina Gauthron, Chris Herring, Jeff Lyon, Melody Mazuk and Susan Underwood. Bread was provided by Julia Gould and Andi McKeown.


We still need your help, so sign up today to make soup or bring bread. Containers, instructions, and a sign-up sheet are available at both St. Martin's and Christ Church. You can also sign up online at SignUp Genius (link below). Let's keep the momentum going! Questions? E-mail Pam Faber at pmfsmc@comcast.net.

Ron Spinelli - Discernment Update

In February, Ron Spinelli completed interviews with the Commission on Ministry and the Standing Committee and was approved for candidacy. He is now a candidate in formation!


He will complete seminary studies and graduate from the Stevenson School for Ministry in May 2026, followed by Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) at Lankenau Hospital, expected to conclude in mid‑August 2026. After completing both, Ron will participate in ordinand interviews, after which he will be eligible for ordination. A date for ordination has not yet been determined.


Please continue to keep Ron in your prayers.
