Following

January 7th

From The Pastor's Desk:
Dear Lord of Life community,
A new year has arrived, and with it, beginnings and endings. As I conclude my call here on Sunday, January 7th, I invite you to join us on Sunday for worship and a special coffee hour. Lord of Life will be blessed to have an interim pastor, the Rev. Barry Scott, who will worship with us on January 7th and who begins official ministry on January 8th. Many of you have met Barry and his wife, Julie, who moved to Leisuretowne earlier this year. His level of care and experience is tip top, and he will journey with you through 2024.
This change will take me from being your pastor, to being a pastor who happens to live in your community. We may bump into each other in the grocery store, and in that case we can chat about our families, the Eagles, and what's for dinner. I won't ask you about Lord of Life, as I hope you will be fully focused on ministry with Pastor Barry. My son, Caedmon, has asked to stay a member at Lord of Life; he has many adult mentors and youth friends here, and being in 10th grade, he wants to keep as many roots as he can. I ask that you treat him as a fellow disciple, focusing on him and not asking after me; it's not his role to be a link to the former pastor. (It may be tempting, but turn that curiosity about me into curiosity about Cade, because he is a fascinating kid!)
As I move on to EMT training and possibly multiple vocations, I leave you with the reminder that God loves you, and that our community needs your kindness and generosity. Those are two gifts that honor God, care for your neighbor, and will bless you. The Lord of Life goes before you, behind you, beside you, and works through you; may this wondrous truth lead you into the new year and through all your days.
Peace,
Pastor Wendolyn

Interim Pastor Named -
Will Begin
January 8th
LOL Church Member
Pastor Barry Scott
Appointed
Your church council has been working with the New Jersey Synod leaders to determine the next steps that Lord of Life will take as we begin the process of looking for a new pastor. We are pleased to inform you that an interim pastor will begin working with us immediately - beginning on January 8, 2024. Pastor Barry Scott will be with us on a half-time basis for the next year. He will lead us in worship each weekend. We will work together to determine where his focus will be as he shepherds us through the next phase of our church life.
What follows is a letter from Pastor Barry to all of us.
From Pastor Barry D. Scott:
My name is Barry, and in my time as a pastor in the ELCA, I have usually been called Pastor
Barry, or PB for short. That started with kids and soon almost everyone just said, “Hey, PB!”
I have been married to Julie for almost 45 years. We moved to Leisuretowne last August, moving from Marysville OH, near Columbus after 17 years. We are originally from the Chicago area. Our daughter Katie and her husband Brian have two sons, and live in Medford Lakes. We moved to NJ to be near family, and began to worship at Lord of Life soon after we arrived. We found ourselves welcomed and comfortable here, and recently became members
For 19 years I owned a trucking and transportation services company outside O’Hare Airport in Chicago. Our family was active as members of a church in Bartlett IL. I served on the church council in various capacities, taught Sunday school, helped with Confirmation Classes, and was a Worship Assistant. In 1993, at age 39, I began seminary having sold the business. I was ordained in 1998 and called to Hosanna! Lutheran Church in St. Charles IL as Associate Pastor, serving there for eight years.
In 2006 I was approached to be the Sr. Pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church and School in Marysville OH, and served 15 years until I retired in May of 2021. I then served as Interim Pastor at Epiphany Lutheran Church, Dayton on a part time basis, mentoring the new Sr. Pastor, leading weekly worship at one of the two church sites, and providing pastoral care and visitation. In Marysville I was a founding member of the ministerial association and The Hope Center providing social services to the community, and 2nd Chances Thrift store which supports Trinity School and The Hope Center. I served 4 years on the board of Families Matter, a juvenile drug diversion program for the County Court judge.
After moving to NJ, Bishop Bartholomew asked me to supply preach, which I began last October, mostly in South NJ. Recently the Bishop asked me to consider being the part-time Interim Pastor here at Lord of Life. As in every way and place I have served, I hear God’s call in my life, and in her request I heard that call again. I am honored to serve Jesus with you, and I am confident we will find ways to do that with joy as we prepare to call the next pastor to lead us in the Gospel of grace.
I look forward to getting to know you all, and finding new ways to be the Church together!
Your Brother in Christ,
Pastor Barry (or PB)

Nominations For
Church Council
Are Now Open
Help Wanted! The nominating committee, in accordance with the church Bylaws, is now seeking volunteers willing to accept nominations for various Council positions which include officers and ministry liaison leads. These are 2 year term positions, but occasionally people may leave early due to personal reasons.
What does Council do? Well there would not be a church without Council lay leadership, which attends to both the ministry and business needs of the church along with our Pastor, so these are very important positions to fill. Meetings are once a month, although there is usually some required tasks or actions between the meetings.
If you are interested in serving on Council or need more information, please speak to any of the following nominating committee members: Ed Hourihan, Linda Baechler, or Nancy DiYenno.
Please prayerfully consider what time/talent you can provide to this critical area of church leadership.
