Words of Blessing from Our New Conference Minister

Greetings, beloved people of God! Blessings, beloved people of our Maine Conference! I am so very honored and thrilled to have been called by you to be your settled Conference Minister! My official start date is October 26 and I can’t wait to begin the journey that God has for us as we partner together and share in holy ministry. We don’t always know what the future holds, but we know with deep assurance that God holds a future that is hope filled and life giving. 

Within the next month or so Carol and I will be selling our home in Pennsylvania, and we are under contract for a home in Hallowell–pending home inspection and appraisal. Please keep us in your prayers as this  process unfolds. We are so looking forward to living and working and playing in Northern New England once more! 

With deep blessing and heartfelt gratitude,

Marisa
