  There aren’t many corners of Wakeman’s Grove Church of the Brethren that 
  
  Gary Shipe, who has worked as an installer repairman for Shentel since 1986, 
  doesn’t know. At Wakeman’s Grove he serves on the executive committee, teaches 
  Sunday school and sings in the choir. He does whatever is necessary to keep this 
  tight-knit country church in good shape. Gary believes it is important to not just sit 
  in the pew on Sunday.
