Kate Fady, Youth Director
Get to know Kate!
When my own children began attending Sunday school, I recognized the tremendous importance of Christian education, and as well, the call on my life to be part of this ministry. Today, as a grandmother, I’m still teaching Sunday school, and love it! It’s my hope and prayer that children understand they’re created in God’s image and that Jesus knows and loves them.
I’ve worked as an artist, in the field of natural-science and botanical illustration and clearly see God’s creative brilliance in all of nature. Occasionally, I will still participate in exhibits that feature environmental art. In addition to working at Summerville PresbyteriaIn Church, I like to garden and spend lots of time with my grandchildren.

Scott Woods Memorial Bell Choir
The Scott Woods Memorial Bell Choir has been ringing at Summerville Church for over 50 years! The bells were donated in memory of the child of a member. They include 4 octaves of Whitechapel bells and 3 octaves of Malmark hand chimes. The group plays an anthem once a month in church and often accompanies hymns during the service.
The choir welcomes new-comers to add to their numbers. They meet Wednesday evenings at Summerville at 6:30pm and offer "on-the-job" training.
