Pastor Caleb Announces Move
On Sunday, February 28th, Pastor Caleb made public his move into the Wisconsin Annual Conference. June 30th will be his last day as the Edinburg-Stonington UMCs pastor and July 1st will be the beginning of his appointment at Port Edwards United Methodist Church in Port Edwards, WI. The Staff-Parish Relations committee is already working hard with our District Superintendent to discern your new pastor. Pastor Caleb made this decision to move purely for personal reasons and the opportunities that are aligning themselves in WI. He will be leaving with warm feelings and good memories, new friends made, and innumerable life lessons and ministry experience. Pastor Caleb’s last day in the church pulpit is Sunday, June 13th and the next Sunday (Father’s Day) will be at the Stonington Summerfest community service (Pastor Brennan will represent the church there).
In-person Worship continues.
