The Rev. Dr. Mary Jayne Ledgerwood has been called as the new rector of Calvary Episcopal Church in Cleveland, Mississippi. She has served parishes in the dioceses of the Central Gulf Coast, Virginia, and Maryland, and most recently as Canon for Administration at Trinity Cathedral in the Diocese of Pittsburgh.

Dr. Ledgerwood grew up in the Mississippi Delta, graduated from Ole Miss, and founded a public relations and communications firm in Jackson before moving to the Washington, DC area. After being called to ordained ministry, she received a Master in Divinity from the Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia and a Doctor of Ministry in Ecumenism and Interreligious Dialogue from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, DC.

Jennifer is a fourth grade teacher who has anchored our children’s programs for over a decade. Though she guides the entire children’s and youth programs, she leads the Wednesday Worship and Godly Play programming for children 4k-3rd grade.

My name is Frances Hardman, and I am the youth group leader. The kids and I spend our time together eating super, learning about Jesus through lessons, devotions, playing games, and catching up on life. We have recently started a new project to build a garden, which will be a work in progress over the next year or so.

I love Nora. We love nature, biking, cats (Bell), Christmas, baking, Delta Dairy, and gardening. I am a Realtor. Getting my Masters. I wear multiple hats but a mom is my favorite one!
