~ A note from Pastor Ross
Greetings Zion Church,
I'm your new transition priest coming to you just a few months after concluding 29 years at Saint Paul Lutheran Church in Arlington, MA. I was at another church in Quincy, MA for ten years before that. I have loved being a pastor and I'm glad to be among you for a time preaching, presiding and offering pastoral care. I now live in South Williamstown, MA with my wife, Janice. We have 4 grown children and three grandchildren.
Some highlights from my past at St. Paul were 25 years of refugee resettlement work and a year-long pastoral residency site for 28 consecutive pastors in training. I was also an on-call chaplain at Boston Children's Hospital during my years in the Boston area.
Being half-time I will be here about twice a month, including All Saints, Christmas Eve, Ash Wednesday, Palm Sunday, Holy Week and Easter. I will also be on site each week from Tuesday mornings through early Wednesday afternoons.
I look forward to seeing you throughout the next few months.
