As we begin our journey with Shippensburg C.O.B., we come with the goal in mind of being a bridge between Pastor Jerry Greiner and your next Senior Pastor.  We do not come to initiate change but to serve the ministry needs of Shippensburg C.O.B. and to be responsive to God's and this congregation's leading.

 

Our goal will be, when our journey together ends, to have the kind of feelings existing that bespoke God's blessing--His smile on our time together.

 

In Christian love, 

Harold & LaVerne
