A service of installation for Pastor Betsy Hoium will be held Sunday, October 28, at both services, with a Celebration Potluck to follow the second service. Please celebrate with us as we install Pastor Hoium as our new Associate Pastor.

Pastor Ruth met with the Befrienders group and was reminded that “one way we see God is in and through one another.” Being a Befriender is “one way of living out God’s love.”

The quieter summer days have quickly given way to a more frenzied pace from day to day, making me every more grateful for the additions to our ministry team and the volunteers that are back in action alongside us.  This is an interesting time of ministry transition as we are bringing new staff on board and at the same time rolling out our fall programming. While I am still involved deeply with worship and our various programs from week to week, I’m also recognizing a shift to more strategic support of our growing team.
