Going to Youngstown

I've just accepted an offer to become the consulting minister at the First UU Church of Youngstown, Ohio. I"m excited about this culsulting ministry, as it combines some of the task oriented aspects of interim ministry with the relational aspects of more traditional settled ministry. UUYO is specifically asking for assistance in achieving goals of growth in size and diversity, organizational development and adult religious experience: all these are areas I'm enthusiastic about. I've really enjoyed the meeting members of the church during an interview visit, and received positive words about the congregatoin from others, so I look forward to a promising ministry. Exciting and busy and a bit scary -- times of change, now and ahead!
