Trinity Church Beaverdam


I have been licensed by the Archbishop of the United Episcopal Church to serve as a priest in Trinity Church Beaverdam, Virginia. The building was erected in 1830 and has been well maintained. The Church community is a gathering of traditional worshipers who have kind hearts. Patty and I are blessed to have been led to this parish. Please pray that we may serve this parish by meeting the needs of the congregation. Our family is excited about doing God's work in the Church and looking forward to what is in store for us here. The Church is 23 miles from our home which is much closer than the 100 miles we traveled to St. John’s In Maryland. We will miss our Church family at St. John's but are glad to be starting a new ministry.

for everything, a first...


Today is the first day of July and the first time Danny has tried, “real” food. The selection for this evening was the pureed green beans. Much to our amazement he gobbled the mush down as if it was chocolate pudding.
Later this evening after supper Tommy decided to show us a “magic trick” and made Danny disappear.
Strangely enough Patty presented me with this photo of Tommy from his first bean tasting. There is no better lad than an Ayres, and we have two of the best.
