Marshall is a long-time Church of the Brethren member. While his career meant he was gone for long periods, he is now back in Pittsburgh and has been found to be with invaluable information on in particular the construction and maintenance issues at the church. He has accepted a role added during COVID as research and presenter of a segment in our Sunday service entitled "The History of Hymns" and served as part of a committee working on a revision of the congregations Bylaws and Constitution. Late in Nov., 2022, Marshall was elected to serve a one-year term as Board Chair and faithfully led us in looking for avenues within our community to grow the church. We thank him for his service in this capacity. Early in 2023, he began service on the Witness Commission.

Greg has been with the church since he was a child and through the years has given of his time and talents in many ways. The stained glass windows at the church were donated by his Mother, now deceased and he recently cleaned the protective coating on the outside of those windows in the prescribed manner saving us thousands of dollars.
