Welcome
Pastor-elect Jonathan Drury!
We are very pleased
to announce the election of the Rev.
Jonathan Drury as the next Settled
Minister of our church. Jonathan was
elected in a unanimous vote of our
congregation on Sunday, May 6th. He is
expected to begin serving our
congregation on August 1, 2012. We
appreciate the fine support shown by our
members and friends at Jonathan's
reception and during our "Candidate
Sunday" service and congregational
meeting. You can read Jonathan's sermon
by clicking on the "Bulletins and
Sermons" tab to the left.
Our
Search Committee and all of our members
and friends have felt
God’s presence throughout the search
process and Jonathan's "Candidate
Weekend". Through prayer and
discernment, it became clear to both
Jonathan, the committee and
our congregation that God is
calling him to ministry at our church
here in Falmouth. As we have grown to
know Jonathan, we have felt his deep
faith and love of ministry. He possesses
a warm and engaging personality, an
ability to relate to people of all ages,
boundless energy, a strong interest in
mission, and countless gifts for
ministry. We have experienced his
worship style that honors traditional
elements of worship, yet is
spirit-filled and innovative. His
inspirational preaching reaches the
“head and heart.”
We are all
pleased to welcome Jonathan and his
family to Falmouth and to our church
family!
We would also like to
pass along our sincere thanks to both
the Profile Committee, so ably chaired
by Dennis McGillicuddy and our Search
Committee, skillfully coordinated by Evelyn Johnson.
These groups, helped by input from
Pastor Steve and countless others in the
congregation and guided by the Holy
Spirit, have exhibited uncommon
dedication to the future of our church
and helped us complete this very
successful effort. Our future is very
bright as a result!

Weekend" brochure and learn more

We
would like to “point” you to Jonathan’s
bio on the website of his present
church, South Congregational in Andover,
MA (http://www.southchurch.com/jonathandrurybio.htm).
In addition to his bio, you will find
video & audio of his recently preached
sermons. (Martha also encourages you to
definitely watch the video of his
portrayal of the Cowardly Lion in the
church’s production of “The Wizard of
Oz.” )
Our
annual Rummage Sale on Saturday, May 5th
was a real success. Thanks to all of you
who worked so hard and, of course, to
our patrons!
