Greetings from the rector-elect
What a blessing this Eastertide is proving to be! Receiving a call to serve as the next rector of St. James is both a joyous and humbling experience. I look forward to renewing old acquaintances and meeting new companions for our faith journey together. I am just back from a week’s vacation in Arizona, and am finishing up my interim ministry at your neighboring congregation of Holy Nativity, Wrightstown. After serving some 15 congregations as their interim pastor (seven of them in Bucks Deanery), I am excited about this new role of being the settled rector at St. James. I will finally be in a church long enough to watch the children grow and go off to college, get married and baptize their children! I will continue to live at my home in Southampton, PA with my German Shepherd, Zoey. I eagerly await our first worship services together on June 1.
Faithfully yours,
The Rev. Barbara Kelley
