Sunday School presentation 2013
Mr. Bill Gordy and the other teachers of All Hallows' successful Sunday School program made a presentation to the congregation last week. A review of the year's activities was made, and in this photo three shy students are keeping everyone in suspense!  |
Rectory Ready for New Rector
Over the past month, the parish's historic Rectory on Federal St, ca. 1820, has been cleaned up, walls painted, landscaping added, and appliances updated for our incoming Rector, Rev. Nanese Hawthorne. She is scheduled to move in on June 18th. Please stop by to welcome her! (note the historic brownstone carriage step that says "The Rectory" out front.)  |

Holy Cross Tree removal
On Saturday, Jan 19th, the large poplar tree behind the Holy Cross Chapel in Stockton was removed by Keith Lauridson of Keith's Tree Works in Princess Anne. It took all day, and precautions were taken to protect the tombstones below. In its damaged and hollow state, the tree posed too great a threat to the church and graveyard below.    |
Holy Cross Chapel Renovations Complete!
After four months and "Superstorm Sandy" in between, the renovations to the Holy Cross Chapel in Stockton were completed in late December 2012. The refurbished bell and belfry were lifted back into place by a crane, after being restored by Chip Nock, local historic carpenter. The following link is to the Daily Times article about this project, with a nice 4 minute slideshow and interviews with our own Ed Haile and Kathy Fisher.  The shingles on the belfry and the tower skirting and small hyphen roof were replaced with authentic cedar shakes soaked in linseed oil. The ladders inside and the railings around the bell were rebuilt. Next up, removing the large poplar tree which is too close to the church and graves.  The majority of the funds used for this project were from a specific bequest and donations from parishioners, earmarked for Holy Cross Restoration. |
Holy Cross Repairs 2012
A visit was made to Holy Cross on July 10, 2012 by the Jr. Warden Kemp Wills, Vestry Member Dan Westerlund, Treasurer Ed Haile, and Fr. Ken Thom. We met with a local Historic Carpenter, Chip Nock, to discuss the condition of the belfry, the belfry roof, and the church's picket fence and gate. Chip grew up in the Stockton area and still lives less than a mile away. The inspection of the belfry (up two old wooden ladders) gave us a chance to photograph the bell up close. |
