"Who do you say that I am?" is a question that Jesus asked his disciples in the gospel of Matthew. Peter's response, in declaring that Jesus was the Messiah, was a key confession of faith that we continue to remember today. But what about God? Who do you that God is? Come explore some of the forgotten names of God from the Old Testament and see how a wider understanding of God can deepen our faith.

Sister Hannah, CSM has been a member of the Community of St. Mary, Southern Province, for the past five years. She began her ministries within the Community by managing the guest ministries as well as the chapel services as the Sister sacristan. She continues to help manage the Community's website, social media, and online gift shop and promote convent events online. During her time in Community, she has been active in preaching at a variety of Episcopal churches and schools both in-person and online, and traveled out-of-state to preach and teach adult forums at various churches. Prior to COVID, she regularly led tour groups through the convent grounds and chapel and educated visitors about the history and ministries of the Community. Part of her work involves teaching the Organic Prayer interns about chapel liturgy and taking turns with the other Sisters in instructing the interns about the Rule of St. Benedict. She enjoys living out Benedictine hospitality and meeting new guests, visitors, and groups that come to the convent. Prior to entering Community, she graduated with her bachelor’s and master’s degrees in nutritional sciences in 2008 and 2011 from North Carolina State University and the University of North Carolina at Greensboro, respectively. She became a licensed registered dietitian in 2011. She began her career as a clinical dietitian first at Albemarle Hospital in Elizabeth City, NC then at Wesley Long Hospital in Greensboro, NC. There she worked in the oncology, surgical, and psychiatric units. She recently graduated from the University of the South with a Master of Arts in Theology in December 2020.
