Interim Pastor: Our Interim Pastor is Gail Zackrison. She will be our Interim Pastor for this pastoral transition. She is trained in Intentional Interim Ministry, which is a process to help a congregation look at itself and its mission, etc. As many of you as possible will be involved in that process. She lives in Edinboro, PA, with her cat, Jennifer. She has two daughters, both of which are married with one child each. Pr. Zackrison went to Christ Seminary-Seminex, and graduated in 1982, and was ordained on Super Bowl Sunday 1983. She has served congregations in Missouri and Pennsylvania with several interim positions in Missouri, Kansas, Upstate New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio. She is currently the interim at St. John Lutheran Church in Champion also.

Our hope is to maintain the servant project, once a month, through the year, recognizing an essential need in the community and to keep communication with some of our members, too. The following suggested items are always appreciated; cereal, soup, chili, crackers, macaroni and cheese, easy-prep noodle or rice side dishes, canned meats (tuna salmon, turkey, chicken), canned vegetables, boxed potatoes, gravy, peanut butter and jelly, and cookies. Monetary donations can be made to the church with FOOD OUTREACH on the memo line.
