Bishop Marty’s final pastoral visitation as Bishop of West Missouri took place on Sunday, September 12, 2021, at Christ Episcopal Church, Warrensburg, Missouri.

Flowers were presented to Donna Field and a couple of birthday cakes for Bishop Marty — one to be consumed immediately by those present, and the second for later. Birthday and general blessings were bestowed. There was also time for some business with a question and answer session.
