| The Rev. Jane Ross Deacon |
It gives me great joy to serve the Lord at Hope+in+the+Desert Episcopal Church as a
deacon. I love the people who form the Body of Christ at our church. They are a
wonderful community who bring the love of Jesus Christ to those who come into
contact with our mission church.
I have been with Hope+in+the+Desert Episcopal Church since the core group to start
our mission was launched over seven years ago. I quickly became involved in all
aspects of worship and the many activities designed to establish our church in our new
neighborhood, such as planning events and coordinating Alpha Programs. When I
retired from my position as counselor at St. Pius X High after twenty years, I gained
much more time and opportunity to serve the Lord in establishing Hope.
God placed a call on my life to ordained ministry even before I knew about Hope
Church, but I put His message aside. His call continued to surface during my early
involvement at Hope and I finally responded. I received my seminary education at the
School for Ministry of the Diocese of the Rio Grande and was ordained a vocational
deacon on July 30, 2005. As part of my responsibilities as deacon at Hope Episcopal
Church, I coordinate many of the ministries, especially those related to Sunday
worship. I am involved with the Healing Prayer Team, the Intercessors and the Order
of St. Luke.
I am a cradle Episcopalian who is married to a Roman Catholic. This has worked out
very well for both of us during our marriage of 37 years as we respect our similarities
and our differences in beliefs and worship. We have raised two wonderful children
who both live in Albuquerque with their family.
