The Rev. Deacon Valerie Davis shares her story of finding in an ever-present God, in the grief of losing her mother too soon.

Valerie, a cradle Episcopalian, ordained a Deacon, serves in the Diocese of North Carolina. She is a member of the Diocesan Council for Outreach & Justice, is the Co-chair for the Clergy of Color and a facilitator for the diocese’s introductory course on Dismantling Racism. She is currently assigned to St. Martin’s in Charlotte, NC where she is beginning a ministry for homeless and displaced persons. Valerie considers herself to be a lifelong learner, who enjoys reading, water activities, traveling abroad, and the many adventures of meeting and sharing the good news of the Gospel domestically and internationally.

Sarah Hollar, an Episcopal Priest and Spiritual Director, lives in Charlotte, NC, where she serves a parish, tends relationships with her husband, two children, two stepchildren, their spouses, seven grandchildren, and her wise aging mother. She also has a good number of friends. Deeply curious about the complexity of the human experience and how God is present in that complexity, she invites you to join her as all sorts of folk share their memorable encounters with God.
