Our Prayer Group meets every Sunday following Worship.
Dear Homestead Park family and friends,
As many of you already know, I am retiring from my position as pastor in the United Methodist Church and from Homestead Park UMC.
It has been a pleasure serving in ministry with you for these past eight years, and I am grateful for the experiences we have shared. I wish you and the church the very best as you welcome your new pastor, Rev. Wade Berkey. I will do my best to support him during this transition.
I want to share the details regarding this change:
- Final Service: My last day in the pulpit will be Sunday, May 31.
- Month of June: I will attend the Annual Conference in California, PA, followed by my remaining vacation time.
- Pulpit Supply: Rev. Karen Hecht or Rev. Beverly Gross will fill the pulpit for all services in June.
- Official Start: Rev. Wade Berkey will become your full-time pastor on July 1.
As a reminder, while we will remain friends, Rev. Berkey will be your pastor as of July 1. I will no longer be involved in any pastoral responsibilities at HPUMC.
May God bless you and keep you in all your future endeavors.
Godspeed,
Pastor Don Kephart
