With great energy and enthusiasm, Ramona Kacyvenski has joined the team at Christ Episcopal Church as our new Administrative Assistant.
Originally from upstate New York, Ramona and her family previously lived in Craftsbury, where her husband attended Sterling College and her second son was born. After spending several years in Georgia and New York, Ramona and her family chose to return to Vermont and have since settled in Plainfield where they are raising two young sons.
Ramona received her Bachelors of Art in Art History from State University of New York at New Paltz. Having a great passion for art and for history adds to Ramona’s pleasure in being here at Christ Episcopal Church, a site truly rich in both art and history. Ramona’s previous management experience and her extensive volunteer work for several organizations have cultivated a strong work ethic, excellent organizational skills and the ability to create functional systems.
In addition to her responsibilities here at Christ Church, Ramona also serves as a program leader at the East Montpelier Elementary School.
Please welcome Ramona to our staff!

The last Sunday before Lent was filled with special celebrations.
The Rev. Jean Jersey’s newly painted sacred icon of Julian of Norwich was commissioned at the 10:00 AM service on February 19th. The icon was painted by a friend of Jean, the world renowned iconographer, Zachary J. Roesemann of Brattleboro. Here are some photos by Rilla Murray and Ruth Beard.
The youth of Christ Church made fleece blankets during church school. These blankets were blessed and will be donated to those in need within the greater Montpelier area. One will go with Sara Baker on her mission to Africa. Our youth are actively engaging in service projects to deepen their spiritual roots and give back to others in our community.
In a moving ceremony, the parish sent Sara Baker off to her mission to Kenya with prayers, blessings, and laying on of hands by the kids of the parish. She is bringing a donated wheelchair for a disabled Kenyan youth. Sara leaves within a week. (Read more here.)

The Christ Church Prayer Shawl Ministry met last Sunday after the 10:00 a.m. service to share their work and make plans. Here are three prayer shawls (left) and three Baptismal blankets (right) all ready to be blessed on Sunday, February 26. More are "in production." If you have a suggestion for someone who would enjoy a prayer shawl as a way of knowing our community is surrounding them in love, please give the name to Rilla Murray (

or 229-0416).
In April we will have a little sale on knitted and crocheted items (not shawls) to raise money to purchase materials. If you would like to support this ministry before then, please make a donation earmarked for the Prayer Shawl Ministry or buy a gift card/certificate at The Knitting Studio in Montpelier, Joanne's at the Berlin Mall, Michael's in Burlington or and AC Moore in Williston.
If news of the Prayer Shawl Ministry is "new" to you and you might be interested in joining us, please contact Rilla. Everyone is welcome. (The patterns are EASY.)
