Pastor Scott will be taking a well-earned sabbatical during this summer. He will be taking time to focus on rest, rejuvenation, and deeper study. He will be continuing mission work in South Africa, reconnecting with a colleague in Kenya, continuing his ministry studies, brushing up on his Spanish language skills, as well as spending quality time with his family. This will be the first full sabbatical of his ministerial career and a well-deserved one at that, especially considering he has done much of the work usually shared by two ministers during most of his tenure with First Congregational.

Pastor Scott's sabbatical will span from May 26th through September 5th. During this time, Pastor Scott will not be leading nor participating in any church-related activities, but know that we will be in his thoughts and prayers. In his absence, we will be in excellent hands with the support and leadership of both Pastor Kim and Cathy Sanders.

We wish Pastor Scott the best on all of his summer endeavors and we will look forward to heartily welcoming him back in the fall!
