While still in seminary, pursuing an MDiv degree, I was contacted by the Massachusetts Conference/UCC to work with UPL for six months as their Bridge Minister. It was a wonderful opportunity. By that time I had more ecclesiastical experience and was able to lead this church with more assurance.

I led weekly worship services, working closely with the Director of Music. Together we crafted meaningful, contemporary worship experiences.

Pastoral care was provided to many parishioners. I also used my interpersonal communication skills to help members prepare for a new settled pastor.

This church community was mature and grounded in the gospel which made for a smooth transition. It was a delight to serve and learn with everyone.

I accepted the position of Acting Pastor with the understanding that mentorship with the NHCUCC was essential. At the time I was not ordained though I did have a degree from Andover Newton Theological School I worked closely with Revs Dawn Garret Larsen and Bill Beardsley for 1 year. After my three month probation it was decided that I would return to seminary to pursue an MDiv after serving this church for one year

I led this church in weekly worship services, provided pastoral calls, special services, funerals and regularly attended church committee meetings with an open heart. As I led with my eyes wide open this loving community embraced me, teaching me much about how to lead a church community.

The Conference allowed this unusual situation because of my background in conflict resolution which would come to serve this church greatly.
