Transition Sunday - the Arrival of Ruth Merriam

July, 2002 - Change is inevitable, whether we want it, need it or deserve it. In July, The Church on the Cape was no different than many other UMC churches throughout the land - our new permanent pastor was on her way. Pastor Bill Gardei was stepping aside as our Interim Pastor to make way for Pastor Ruth Merriam.

Bill Gardei had served us well during the preceding twenty months. His caring, interested manner quickly put us at ease as he prepared us for the challenges ahead

The foundation upon which our congregation's robust spiritual health is based was put into place by Sherwood Treadwell, our former pastor. Bill Gardei has now joined Sherwood as Pastor Emeritus. Here you can see the symetry of our pastoral line - smiles and love.

So with the support of Sherwood, Bill and the congregation, Ruth continues the process of building a stronger church here on earth to the glory of God.
