Sharon Welch
My Name is Sharon Welch and my family and I have been proud members of St. Christopher’s since Easter 2000, when we moved to Oklahoma city.
I became the Administrative Assistant in August of 2006 and truly love my church. I am a “cradle Episcopalian”. My father was a rural Episcopal minister and I attended many, many services in my youth (up to 4 services each Sunday!). I’ve attended church services all around the world, but love the feeling I get when I pray at St. Christopher’s. It’s not too big where you are praying with strangers, it’s just right where your praying with church friends who became my church family.
When I’m not working I enjoy camping with my hubby, scrap-booking and enjoying my two daughters and granddaughters.
If you looking for a new church, come by and give St. Christopher’s a try.
