Welcome Derry’s New Sextons

Luke Gawron has been a member of Derry Church since he was in confirmation class in 2006. In addition to working as Derry’s Sunday Sexton, he also teaches wood shop at Lower Dauphin High School. Luke lives in Elizabethtown with his two children and is also involved in Derry’s scouting program with Pack 200. He is also an artist: you may remember he created the painting on display above the welcome table in the Narthex. In his free time, he enjoys the great outdoors and cooking with his children.

Bill O’Keefe and his wife Ellen, a deacon at Derry Church, have lived in Quentin for the past five years. Bill worked for Siemens Fire Safety for 38 years in the Fire Safety Division. He is a 38-year Fire Fighter, Ex-Fire Chief, Fire Police Officer and a Life Member with the Green Township Fire Department (NJ), and for the past three years, a Fire Police member in Quentin, where he now serves as Fire Police Captain. Bill has two adult children and four grandchildren and share Ellen’s three children and eight grandchildren. Bill and Ellen love to travel in their 5th wheel RV with our beagle, Arvee, and go on an occasional cruise.

You’ll see both men around the church on Sunday mornings as they offer friendly greetings, oversee security, assist with room setups, clear walkways and more.
