"Lost and Found / Relax and Rejoice "

(Click on Scripture Passage)
Worship this Sunday will be led by Rev. Kenneth H. Mast. Ken, a retired Presbyterian pastor, is known to many of us as he worships at First Presbyterian church often. After completing studies at Hobart College and Princeton Theological Seminary, Ken served churches in New York state and was pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Mahopac, NY from 1988-2015. Ken is a frequent traveller to places far and wide and has also served the PC(USA) as an English teacher in Japan (1974-1977) and China (1985-1987). Welcome to the pulpit Ken!

Join us for worship on Sunday at 10:30 AM as Rev. Ken Mast brings the Word of God through beloved parables of Jesus.

Blessings and peace,
Danny
