From the President


Church Council Update
Thanks to everyone who came out on June 5 to meet our pastoral candidate and attend the service she lead. We are pleased to announce that The Rev. Kristin Engstrom has been called to be the next pastor of Holy Trinity Church. She will start on July 25 and her first Sunday with us will be July 31.

A special thanks goes to Greg Sekula and the Call Committee. They worked hard for a year, in conjunction with Church Council, to find the right pastor for us. During this time Pastor Will Moser from Montclair served as our vice pastor. We thank him, also, for his time and guidance for the duration. He is still “on the job” until Pastor Kristin’s arrival if you need pastoral services this month.

Regrettably we will say goodbye to our NA group meetings as of July 1. We were unable to work out a satisfactory agreement with our neighbors and ultimately had to ask the group to relocate. Please continue to pray for all of those who attend these meetings, and the friends and family of those who are afflicted with this illness. AA will continue to meet once a week at Holy Trinity.

Thanks also go to Robert Kyle who undertook the painting of our downstairs rooms as an Eagle Scout project. The rooms look great, and the color is very warm and cheerful. Thanks also to Nancy and Chris Duhm for their help with this project, with both their scouting and church hats on.

We are looking forward to a quiet summer at Holy Trinity. Come to church on Sundays and stay for some lemonade and fellowship after. We hope to see you soon!
