Saint Benedict

Mary Eberling Bio

When I moved to Lacey from Tacoma almost six years ago, I began the search for a new church home.  It didn't take long: from the first visit to St. Benedict's, I knew that here was a welcoming, lovely, lively congregation.  I have been a member since 2003, and was elected to serve on the Bishop's Committee last year.  This has been a rewarding experience so far; the folks with whom I serve are just a wonderful group, and we "click".  In addition to being the Bishop's Committee liaison for the Newcomers Committee, I am a greeter, a lay reader, and an occasional prayer writer. 

As a retired English teacher, I enjoy reading, and also love traveling and interacting with my grandchildren.  I have nine, and they range in age from 23 to two months!  Don't get me started!
