Ministry Description |
The United Church of Bernardston (UCB) is a welcoming and accepting congregation located in Bernardston, a small town along the Connecticut River and just off the last interstate 91 exit in Massachusetts as one heads north to Vermont. We seek a trained interim pastor who can guide us in reflecting on our rich past and discerning our vision for the future, assist us in calling a settled pastor, and facilitate worship and pastoral care needs. Through guidance from the Holy Spirit, we anticipate the discernment process for UCB to involve creative and honest exploration to enhance and develop our spiritual growth and our ministry to those around us. Recent programming at UCB has included arts and music ministry, children and youth ministry, spiritual development; environmental and social justice work, stewardship and a variety of fundraising initiatives involving the wider community. In addition to helping in our discernment and search process, a UCB interim pastor would facilitate weekly worship with meaningful and relatable sermons to our diverse congregation, offer pastoral care, and participate in life events of members and friends (funerals, weddings, baptisms). We are a warm, caring congregation who genuinely enjoys each other's company and who shares generously of time, talent and treasure. UCB is composed of families from a wide rural area, and we have many ongoing partnerships with local community organizations. We are excited about what God has in store for us as we look to our future. |
