Welcome Pastor Todd

Message from Pastor Todd

Peace brothers and sisters,
You may have heard that you guys were getting an interim pastor now that Kathleen has retired. Well, that would be me. I am honored to have opportunity to worship with you guys. Life is a journey and this part of the journey we will take together.
A brief introduction – I am a local licensed pastor and also serve the Marlow UMC community. I am bi-vocational – meaning I also have a full-time non-clergy job where I work with hospital software. I am a single dad of a college-aged young man – and I have two dogs – one of which Is blind. I suppose we make a funny looking family, but God’s love is in our strange looking family.
I am very easy-going and love to talk. I laugh easy and love to laugh at myself. Feel free to call me anything you want but I prefer just “Todd”.
Marlow was my first church appointment. Prior to that, I was a lay speaker working with young people in detention centers.
As I am also serving Marlow, you can expect me to come in “wheels hot” on Sunday AM as I am heading to Peterborough from Marlow. So please bear with me if I am come in right at 11. 😊 But I will hang out for a while to talk after service. In these COVID times, I can always talk on phone also.
More than anything I believe in what Jesus can do in our lives. I really was one of those awful “wretches” you hear about. My life was a mess and then God put my feet on solid ground. I believe with every fiber of being that God can do that for everyone.
I look forward to meeting you guys – either in person or virtually. We will share life together. Please bear with me as I make mistakes.
I will close with a quote from John Wesley, “Best of all, God is with us”
Peace,
Todd
