We extend our heartfelt gratitude to William Begg, who is stepping down after 13 years of faithful service as our volunteer Treasurer for Receipts. William’s steady dedication, care, and diligence have blessed this parish and me, personally, as he accompanied me in my early years as rector. If you would like to honor William’s service, you may make a donation to the St. Philip’s Foundation for Towel Ministry, another ministry to which he has generously given his time and talent. We are deeply grateful for all that William has offered to St. Philip’s. If you’d like to donate, please add “Towel Ministry – Begg Honor” in the memo line of your check.

A few words about William’s service to Towel Ministry by Don Stubbs:

It is with great honor that we acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding contributions of William Begg through his dedicated work with the Towel Ministry. Since his first client visit on April 29, 2004, William has played a pivotal role in enhancing the safety and independence of countless impaired and disabled individuals within our community.

Over the past years, William has worked on a sizeable number of Towel projects such as wheelchair ramps and other improvements for clients. However, several years ago he became a grab bar installation “specialist” and has since installed countless grab bars (over 1,000 since 2012) in individual’s homes. These installations have made a profound impact, allowing residents to more safely bathe, shower, and move around their homes with greater confidence and security. The commitment and care that William has shown in his work reflect not only his technical skill (drilling into ceramic tile without breaking it is not easy), but also his compassion and desire to improve the lives of others.

Through his efforts, the Towel Ministry has been able to reach those who are most in need, providing practical solutions that support dignity, well-being, and independence. William’s work stands as an inspiring example of what can be achieved when service is paired with genuine dedication and empathy.

On behalf of all those whose lives have been touched by his work, we offer our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to William for his remarkable service. His legacy within the Towel Ministry continues to enrich our community and set a standard for others to follow.
