From Reno-
St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Reno is suffering the fate of the economy and a shrinking congregation.
The last public service in the church on Seventh Street in northwest Reno was held Sunday afternoon.
Bishop Dan Edwards urged parishioners, to look forward.
But it will be tough for some. For more than 17 years, Ace Frazee says she's tended to the church's needs -- shoveling snow, gardening, painting.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports officials say the church will probably be sold.
The church which seats about 100 will close for good after a private service Sunday. The day is also the 45th anniversary of its opening in 1965.
