As a life long Episcopalian I don’t remember a time that I wasn’t a member of the Diocese of Maryland. I grew up as a member of St. Thomas, Garrison Forest. I attended St. Paul’s, Brooklandville, MD and Episcopal High School, Alexandria, VA. I came to St. James by marriage. Ralph Harper joined me to my sweetheart, Sally Deford, and the St. James community in 1976. All three of my children attended the Academy and I served on the Academy Board of Trustees for 10 years. Serving as President of the Board we added the St. James Center {gym} and Science & Tech wing. After my Board tenure I joined the Academy faculty as Assistant Head. Retiring from the Academy in 2013 I now serve St. James as cochair of the Men’s Org and Stewardship committee, an Usher, Reader and Sunday school teacher. I look forward to growing as a Christian and serving this Parish as a vestry member. JACK DEMYAN My name is Jack Demyan and I would like the opportunity to serve as a vestry member at St. James. I have been attending church at St. James since I met my wife Bonnie ten years ago. For eight of those years I traveled from Anne Arundel Co. to attend church and participate in activities, such as the Men’s Organization. Bonnie and I were married at St. James. We have visited other churches from time to time in our travels, but they have never felt like home as St. James does for us. We have since moved to Cockeysville to be closer to grandchildren. I have felt very close to St. James as friends have prayed for my recovery in two major physical challenges since I have been a member here. It has been your prayers and well wishes that helped me through. I still have the prayer shawl that was mailed to me in a hospital in Florida six years ago. I am a pilot, although I no longer fly professionally. I fly my own plane for Angel Flight when I can. Angel Flights are for medical patients that are unable to use commercial transportation for financial or logistical reasons. I feel that I can use the gifts and talents that God gave me in flying to help those in need. I have been associated with The Bank of Glen Burnie for my entire life, as my father was one of the founders of this now publicly traded bank. I am proud to currently be the Chairman of the Board, which is a position that I have held for 20 years. I feel that my banking experience would be useful as a vestry member at St. James. I would like to have the opportunity to serve as a vestry member at St. James and give back to the community a fraction of what I have been given over the years in prayer, friendship and love. MEREDITH LEROY I became an Episcopalian 40+ years ago because I love the liturgy and the history of the church. I came to St. James over 12 years ago and felt at home immediately and love both the physical and spiritual aspects of this place. Currently I am a reader at the 10:15 service, a member of a coffee hour team and a counter. I look forward to helping St. James continue to do God’s work and to be a steward of this historical church. WES MINYARD I moved to Maryland in 2006 from Lubbock TX, where I was a member at St. Paul’s Episcopal. After settling in Baltimore, I served as a vestry board member at St George’s and St. Matthew’s. I moved to Monkton in 2010 and joined St James. I was immediately drawn to the community and fellowship at the church. I am humbled at the opportunity to assist in the work being done here at St James. I look forward to being able to do the Lord’s work through vestry service. Spouse: Adrienne Minyard; Children: Matthew (29), Alaina (27), Dustin (25), Amity (22), Arianne (20), and Shelby (18) Occupation: Packing and Distribution Mgr. at Uptown Bakers
