I’m happy to share that Sean Mahoney will be graduating from Missouri State in Springfield this December. He will receive his bachelors degree in Geology.

The congregation at St. Andrew’s played an important role in Sean’s life from his toddler days through the present. So many people showed genuine interest, watched him wrestle, and shared kind words through his growing years and times of happiness and loss. Special thanks goes to the Paynes for extra encouragement and scholarship ideas and the Bigelows for sharing a love of knowledge and rocks. Recently, Pastor Duncan has reached out to Sean after he was in college and Jan Stitchling sent well-timed notes of appreciation for pursuing and reaching for goals. Rosemary Wischmeier and Joyce Marshall also deserve thanks for the snacks and kind words sent each semester just in time for finals.
