Sarah is the seventeen-year-old daughter of Jason and Alexis Garrett.  She is a Senior attending Camden County High School, where she is a member of the Senior Beta Club, National Honor Society, Spanish National Honor Society and the Cheerleading Team.  King of Peace has loved watching Sarah go from a newborn in frilly dresses to a gracious young lady who was just crowned Miss Georgia Coast 2025.  New to the pageant scene, Sarah has already participated in several pageants and was crowned Miss Golden Isles Teen and awarded the Georgia State Star Award for kindness and compassion. Our entire parish has enjoyed cheering for Sarah’s many years of gymnastics competition. She is a state and national champion with over 200 medals.  Approaching graduation, Sarah has been busy applying to various universities.  She plans to major in Regenerative Bio Science or Biology and hopes to become an Orthopedic Surgeon.  Volunteer work includes helping with various community events, swimming meets and with Senior Beta Club events.  An only child, Sarah says she is just too bossy to have siblings however, her cat Jaxon allows Sarah to be the boss.  On Sunday mornings, you can find Sarah with her devoted parents worshiping at King of Peace.

Faith Haselberger

Hello, I’m so happy to be considered as a part of the vestry. About myself, I’m originally from Old Lyme Connecticut. I have been a wife for 40 plus years, I have four grown children, and eight grandchildren. In my life I have been a patient advocate for the state of  Connecticut and a patient ombudsman. I have worked for the medical and not for profit organizations most of my life. Before joining King of Peace I was a congregationalist, where I went as a representative to the national congress. I have lived in Yulee for almost 20 years. Every day I feel blessed to have found King of Peace as I feel great comfort here. Thank you for considering me.

Becky Young

I moved here with my husband, Sloan, a year ago, after having lived in Florida for over 51 years. Many of you know that I was a Mermaid at Weeki Wachee for a number of years. I also worked as a legal secretary for a few years before embarking on a career as a Respiratory Therapist. I was in management for 27 of the 40 years I worked as a RT and concluded my career with 3 years doing home care. I was on the Board of the American Lung Association of the Southeast in various roles. I also served on the Board of The Friends of Weeki Wachee Springs State Park for 2 terms. My daughter and her family live in Orlando. I enjoy any opportunity to visit with them (including my 22 and 10 year-old granddaughters).  Sloan has a son and daughter in Ohio and Memphis, respectively. We also enjoy visiting them and our 18 and 16 year-old grandchildren in Kent, Ohio. I grew up in the Episcopal Church in central Iowa and have struggled to find a church to feel at home in until finding King of Peace. I would appreciate an opportunity to serve my adopted church family as a vestry member.

Jeff Dellinger

Jeff Dellinger was born in Boone NC in 1963.  He grew up in Hickory NC and attended Bunker Hill High School where he played football, wrestling, and golf.  He attended the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and was elected President of his college fraternity, Kappa Sigma.  Jeff has been married to Judy Dellinger for 24 years.  He and Judy have one son, Matthew Dellinger.  Jeff is stepfather to Judy’s two other sons, Ryan and Kyle Jamroz who live in Colorado.  Today Jeff is the North American Director of Sales for Serge Ferrari Corporation.  He is also President of J Dellinger Company LLC, a family textile import  business he and Judy started in 2004.  Jeff has been active in community service having coached little league football, baseball and soccer.   He grew up in the Lutheran Church and in 2001 was elected to the Church Council for Messiah Lutheran Church in Charlotte.  He was later elected as Congregational Vice President.  Jeff and Judy joined Scherer Presbyterian Church when they moved to Lake Wylie SC where he served Chairman of the  Board of Deacons.  Jeff and Judy moved to Kingsland GA in 2002 and were both confirmed into the Episcopal Church in 2003.

Lay Ministers’ Conference registration now open

The 2025 Lay Ministers’ Conference will be held March 28-30, 2025 at Honey Creek. In listening to the feedback from the strategic planning survey, one of the common themes was the need and want for connection across and to the diocese. This year’s Lay Ministers’ Conference will be one of the ways the Diocese can facilitate that community building.

The conference will be from Friday, March 28 to Sunday, March 30 in order to give participants plenty of time to focus on different types of connection: connection to God, to community, and to each other. Led by the Rev. Callie Swanlund, participants will be given the time and space to replenish their spirit and renew their commitment as lay ministers in the Church. Callie will teach participants about holistic practices to assist with ministry burnout, and tools that will equip them to continuing to serve their home parishes.

Children and Youth Information

King of Peace currently provides two educational opportunities for children and youth…

1. Children and Youth Church. This is for children from K – 12th grade. Children leave at the beginning of the sermon and return during the Passing of the Peace. Children go to the conference room and have a lesson based on the weekly bible reading. We are currently doing the one room schoolhouse model but will break into age appropriate groups as the need arises.
2. KOP – YC. This is a youth group for children from K – 12th. They meet the 2nd Sunday of each month from 4:00 – 6:00. This fall we will be using “ A Child’s Guide to the Holy Eucharist” as we explore the meaning of communion. We also have times of fellowship such as bonfire with s’mores, attending a Jacksonville Icemen hockey game and Christmas caroling.

Peaceful Threads Sewing Group

The Chaplain for the Florida American Legion Auxiliary has offered to donate fabric if we would sew it into lap blankets for Veterans in various facilities. Of course we said yes! So we have another easy project, perfect for beginners.  We also will need people to pin and press.  We meet on Fridays from 2 PM – 5 PM. We are very peaceful and welcome everyone.
