Our beloved Missioner Dr. Maria L. Evans, center, is now a Deacon in the Diocese of Missouri, along with classmates the Rev. Leslie Barnes Scoopmire, left, of this congregation, and the Rev. Andrew Suitter. The devil conjured up an ice storm to keep them from being ordained, but Bishop Wayne Smith tricked him into thinking he’d canceled the service, then ordained Leslie and Andrew late Friday night and Maria the next morning when the devil wasn’t looking.
