Introducing our Union Presbyterian Interns
Hello! My name is Sarah Grace Hall. I am 25 years old
and originally from Little Rock, Arkansas. I am entering
into my third and final year at Union Presbyterian
Seminary pursuing a Master of Divinity. In 2018 I
graduated from the University of Arkansas. From there
I served as a Young Adult Volunteer through the
PCUSA in Washington D.C. working with individuals in
the DMV area experiencing homelessness.
Growing up, I was an active member of my
youth group; being able to build a community, growing
and changing together, was fundamental to me and
lead me to the path that I am on today. I am so excited
to be a part of another wonderful faith community and
to continue growing and building with the members of
The Gayton Kirk Church!
Outside of school I love to watch bad reality TV (major Bravo TV fan), embroider,
listen to true crime podcasts and music (I love Harry Styles and The Avett Brothers!), and
spending a copious amount of time with my friends, family, and two dogs Ellie and Lucy
(unfortunately they must stay in Arkansas). I am so excited to join The Gayton Kirk
community and look forward to meeting everyone very soon!
Greetings! I’m Stacy Deyerle (pronounced die
early) I have been attending the Gayton Kirk since
fall of 2018, and am so happy to get to connect
with the church in a new way through this
internship. I am a late-in-life seminarian, and am
currently in my 2nd year as a full-time student at
UPSem. I am originally from the small town of
Blue Ridge, VA, but have lived in the west end of
Richmond for 25 years. During that time, I have
worked for various local churches and non-profits,
with a primary focus in the areas of missions,
community outreach, and education.
My husband Rusty and I live in Tuckahoe with our 3 senior adult dogs , 1 elderly cat,
and 3 tanks of fish. Our daughter Emily is a graduate student studying biology at
1
Georgia Tech.
