There they go!

Now and again someone steps through our doors at Glebe St James and, like a leavening agent in bread, causes the whole loaf to rise. Someone who said yes to almost everything she was asked, from being on Council, singing in the choir (trans-sectionally), taking many photographs, and wrestling our website out of the 90's into the present. With her apt name, she was transparent with her enthusiasm for our GSJ community and must have said something to someone because more people started showing up at service. Crystal Maitland we will miss you immensely! However, we are all happy and rooting for you and Kyle in your new joint household in a new city and in a new job! We are confident you will blossom there as you did here, touching the lives of many. Your students will be enriched, important paper conservation research will be conducted and any community you join will be so glad you showed up at their door.
With much love and respect from your family at Glebe St James.
