In mid-May, Pastor Andrew announced to the congregation that he is being reassigned to Almonesson United Methodist Church in Deptford, New Jersey and Bethel United Methodist Church in Sewell, New Jersey.
In the United Methodist Church, pastors are appointed by the bishop to lead congregations where there is a need, and Pastor Andrew will begin services at these churches starting July 1st. His last Sunday in the St. Andrew’s pulpit will be June 15th, and he will be available for pastoral care until June 30th.
On July 1st, we look forward to welcoming Rev. Sunny Shim, pastor of Wall United Methodist Church, as our coordinating pastor. Rev. Shim will organize weekly leadership for service, including visiting pastors and lay readers.
We pray for Pastor Andrew as he makes this transition and wish him the best, with love from the entire St. Andrew’s congregation.
