Patricia Davis
I have been a member of St. Stephen’s for approximately 35 years.  Early on I volunteered to do the parish newsletter –editing, printing, collating, mailing, etc.  The only expertise I had for the job was that I could type.  I have to admit my children helped fold it.  This led to many other opportunities – serving on the vestry, ushering.  I was active in social events – helped start the Christmas Breakfast and  Advent Dinner that is still held each year.   I served as the clerk of the vestry during the fourteen years I worked in the office as the secretary/parish administrator.  I decided it was time to retire and did so late June of 2011.  I will continue to work for St. Stephen’s in whatever capacity is afforded me because I believe in St. Stephen’s, the work and good will that is accomplished here.

David Kaiser
David is an Arizona native, adopted at only a few days old, and delivered to his parents at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. That day was his first day of church at St. Stephen’s. David has watched our church learn and grow together for 28 years, of which included the past rector changes, and the trials and tribulations associated with the tough time we are currently facing. David has always considered the St. Stephen’s family as one that has helped raise him and teach him about the joy of family, life, nature, and God. St. Stephen’s is David's church, his family, his friends, and his home. David  will listen to your thoughts and ideas and and is committed to helping to keep St. Stephen’s a place where families and friends to grow together.
