ABOUT OUR PASTOR
Our pastor, Rev. Anthony (Tony) Jarek-Glidden, has been with us since July 1998. He grew up in Lakeport and Wolfeboro, NH, and attended Barrington College in Barrington, RI. After working as a disk jockey in California, he enrolled in Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, MA.
Pastor Tony has served churches in Rehoboth, Lenoxdale, and Lynn, MA, as well as in Salem and Raymond, NH. He is married to the Rev. Dr. Susan Jarek-Glidden, pastor of Quincy Community United Methodist Church in Quincy, MA. He likes old jukeboxes, lighthouses, kaleidescopes, exploring New England, and getting away to the Cape whenever possible.
From the Pastor - June 2010
The coming of June brings with it the end of another Sunday School year. I would be remiss if I did not thank our Sunday School staff for all that they do to help all of us learn and grow in our faith.
Valerie Donadio and Cheryl Murphy taught our elementary school class this year, and did an amazing job. We will miss them both very much next year.
As I was teaching the confirmation class this year, Kathy Aluia stepped in and led our adult class. Her leadership and wisdom have been greatly appreciated.
Luci Rexroad continues to bless our students by helping them learn to be an active part of worship by teaching them one of the hymns that we will sing that week.
As I mentioned earlier, Val and Cheryl will not be available to teach next year. We are still looking for someone (or some ones) to teach the elementary school class. If you can read and follow directions, you can teach. The curriculum is easy to follow, and you will have a profound impact on the spiritual development of some very special kids.
