Spotlight on Parishioner Giselle Dorsett
“I began coming to Saint Mark’s Episcopal Church because of my parents. We were a military family that had been to a lot of different places and had a lot of different church homes. I wanted something similar to what we were used to enjoying: a church with a lot of life, music, active in the community, and with a lot of families. That’s what we found at Saint Mark’s and that’s why my parents chose it. And that’s why I stayed.” Giselle is currently serving on the Vestry.
