1. A New Season for Associate Pastor
Rachel Hamburger It is with a deep sense of
sadness that we write to inform you that Rachel
Hamburger, our Associate Pastor of six years, has
chosen to resign. Her letter explaining her decision
was mailed to the congregation this week. In it Rachel wrote,
“It is surely with mixed emotions that I have resigned my position
as Associate Pastor here at Trinity. With a number of changes in
my life and health over the past few years, I have realized in
recent months a need and call to focus more fully in my area of
giftedness, of care giving for individuals and families in times of
joy, transition and loss. This will most likely be in a context that is
not so remarkably busy and demanding programmatically as
Trinity.” We are so thankful for the fruitful ministry of care Rachel
provided for Trinity and will miss her very much. She will continue
with us until November 21st. Watch for details about celebrating
her ministry with us.
2. Contributions Toward Settlement Expenses
On Friday, September 26, Trinity was officially dismissed from
the Presbyterian Church (USA) to a new denomination ECO: A
Covenant Order of Evangelical Presbyterians with our property.
Trinity’s total cost for dismissal is $1,711,000, plus an additional
$255,000 or so in ONE TIME transitional costs for moving to ECO.
We are asking our church family to prayerfully consider what their
contribution to this need will be. A formal pledge campaign will
kick off early in 2015, but contributions can be made at any time
before the formal campaign begins. If you wish to give now,
please make your check payable to Trinity United Presbyterian
Church and designate “For Settlement Expenses.” Thank you!
