Speak with Meredith for her book project!

Would you like to share your thoughts about the church year with Meredith O’Brien for her book project? She spent the 2022-2023 church year shadowing Rev. Laurel for a project tentatively called, “The Making of a Millennial Minister.”

If you want to offer her some of your insight into the past year — all congregant names will be changed in the book — please send her an email: [email protected] (Don’t forget the “e” in the middle.). You can: schedule a phone conversation, a Zoom session, or an in-person meeting, or simply send her an email containing your thoughts about the 2022-2023 church year.

She looks forward to hearing from you.
