Andrea Rabalais Petrosh

VII Western Louisiana

I currently serve as the President of Province VII. This is my most recent experience since I first became active in the church as a member of EYC and diocesan youth in the Diocese of Arkansas. As a military spouse with each new assignment I sought out opportunities to participate and serve the military and local communities and the Episcopal Church. Frequent moves. extensive Church work, and employment in finance and education taught me flexibility and teamwork. I have served on vestries and diocesan council, sung in choirs, and been a trustee for the University of the South. In every case, it was my responsibility to understand and follow guidelines, usually the Canons of the Episcopal Church or bylaws of the organization, and respond with dignity, grace, and courage to the task at hand. Time and talent are essential gifts for the health and life of our Church. Individual faith and communal worship hold us together in our work in the Church. I will share what I have wherever called.
