Greetings Montclair Presbyterian Church! For 10 years I have admired you from afar and I can’t tell you how privileged and excited I am to be serving with you during this time. One of my earliest introductions to you as a congregation was through Rev. Chuck McLain, beloved saint and beautiful man who worked for justice until his dying breath (and I would imagine is still trying to work it…!).

As we say goodbye in our hearts to Karen, and take these next steps as a community of faith, I suggested in my sermons of the last two weeks that we have two tasks that we must begin to accomplish together as a church community.
