October 2026

For more than 20 years, Geraldine Burch faithfully shared her gifts of creativity, dedication, and service as the editor and publisher of The Grapevine. Month after month, she thoughtfully crafted each newsletter, keeping the Sedgefield Presbyterian Church family informed, connected, and inspired. Through her tireless efforts, church news, celebrations, ministries, and stories found their way into the hearts and homes of our congregation.

We are deeply grateful for the countless hours Geraldine invested behind the scenes and for the care and excellence she brought to every issue. Her commitment to this ministry has been a blessing to SPC and has helped strengthen the bonds of our church community for generations.

Thank you, Geraldine, for your faithful service, your creativity, and the lasting legacy you leave through The Grapevine. You have truly made a difference in the life of our church. 💜🍇
