Fresh New Start

This New Year comes with a surprising fresh start. Today by the gracious invitation of the people at Pioneer Presbyterian Church in Warrenton, Oregon I begin service on the Clatsop Plains in Word and Sacrament ministry, providing spiritual care and guidance with a special focus on later life wellness in Christ.

Many of you know I felt led to put my role as pastor behind me, open to a new outpouring of Spirit and creative service in my older years. After much consideration and prayerful discernment, however, I am now prepared to humbly accept this wonderful opportunity to be active again in parish ministry and I ask God to help and guide me.
