It is a joy
to serve with St. John United Church of Christ as pastor and teacher.In our tradition, a sense of call by God, a
time of educational and discernment preparation, and an affirmation by the
church lead to ordination.I recognized
my call to ministry as a teenager, but after completing a Bachelors’ Degree at
the University of Wisconsin-Platteville I taught high school for a few years
and gained additional life experience.In 1989 I earned my Master of Divinity Degree at the University of Dubuque
Theological SeminaryDubuque,
Iowa.Since then I have served First Congregational
U.C.C. in Fulton, New York;
First Congregational U.C.C. in Dupo, Illinois; Elm Street Congregational in Bucksport, Maine;
and St. John’s U.C.C. in Bucyrus, Ohio before coming to Granite City in May of
2006. and was ordained at First Congregational
United Church of Christ in
Welcome to our new program year. Lots of exciting things are happening for all ages at St. John United Church of Christ. We have a great group of 7th and 8th graders preparing for Confirmation on Palm Sunday. More youth activities are in the works. Each Sunday worship service is centered on the lectionary, or scheduled, Bible lessons for that day. If you'd like to know what the lessons will be, let me know, and I can get you a lectionary list. As we move forward with faith, may we feel the Spirit adding energy to all we do as disciples of our Savior. Glory be to God.
