Patricia Smith+Richard Black Bio

Patricia Smith I was received and confirmed into the Episcopal Church in 1974 and have been an active member of three Episcopal Parishes in Virginia since that time. In 2008, upon retirement, my family and I moved to Hertford and we began attending Holy Trinity Parish, finding the Holy Trinity congregation extremely warm, friendly and inviting. After transferring our membership to Holy Trinity, I became an active participant in the life of the church, serving with different committees and groups. I am a member of the ECW, serving as Treasurer for one year and as President for two years. I was on the Outreach Committee for three years, serving two years a Chairperson. I have been on the Stewardship Committee for five years and acted as a Co-Chair for the last two years. I was in charge of altar flowers for three years and am currently on the Altar Guild. I consider it a honor and privilege to be selected as a candidate for the 2017-2018 Holy Trinity Vestry.
