CALL COMMITTEE SHARES THE GOOD NEWS
Pastoral Candidate Scott Peterson & wife, Gina
After many months of hard work, prayers, discernment, listening, and seeing God’s hand clearly at work amongst us, the Call Committee has selected a Pastoral Candidate to bring before the congregation.
Pastor Scott Peterson and his wife, Gina visited Anacortes over Labor Day weekend and have agreed to explore joining us in ministry. We still have work to do but it’s an exciting step!
Pastor Scott and Gina, along with their daughter Sophie, will be in Anacortes for a Meet & Greet with the congregation on October 3rd following worship.
I would like to recognize the work of the Call Committee; Lois Cassidy, Janey Dent, Bob Ford, Bill Gusa, Kenny Holzemer, Steve Anderson, and Melanie Sahnow. They have been so committed, focused, patient, and collaborative through all the ups and downs, with weekly meetings for months, and not to mention the hours of homework as we researched and interviewed candidates. What good and faithful servants they have been! We also send a huge thank you to those who have prayed for and with us throughout this journey. And to Pastor Walt for shepherding the congregation through this time.
I am grateful for the opportunity to serve and looking forward to all the possibilities God has in store for us.
