Introducting Rev. Rusty Eidmann-Hicks

Dear Friends,

I am very happy to remind us all that the Reverend Russell Eidmann-Hicks has become Bridge Minister at GRCC, effective Monday, September 9.

Reverend Eidmann-Hicks -- or "Reverend Rusty" or just "Rusty" -- will serve half-time, through Sunday, December 1, preaching on Sunday mornings, providing pastoral care to our community, and managing committee work and other administrative duties that are the responsibility of the senior minister.  

Many of us remember Reverend Rusty, from his service at GRCC as our interim minister during Pastor Jeff's paternity leave when Romey was born and for about half-a-year prior to Pastor Jeff's call.  He is a dear friend of our Church and a highly respected leader in the New Jersey Association of the United Church of Christ.  

We are very blessed that Reverend Eidmann-Hicks will be serving as our Minister.  If you want to know more about him, attached is a brief biography.

I enthusiastically encourage all who can to attend worship this coming Sunday, September 15, 2024, when we will officially welcome Reverend Eidmann-Hicks to his new role in our Church.

Peace and blessings,
