In preparation for taking on this "co-pastor interim" gig, I had read what history I could of the church and hoped to track down some of the former ministers. I didn't get very far. Feel free to email us (both pastors, one email) at wtucrev@gmail.com-- in particular we'd love to hear where you are living, and any particular memories you have of the church. Pastor Susan Dear Philip– it is lovely to hear from you.

When CNN came on with news of the cataclysmic 8.9 earthquake near Sendai, and showed the horrific scenes of devestation all over Japan including Tokyo, I immediately began to wonder how you folks are faring in this disaster. I know a lot of people will be inquiring, and you are no doubt also deep into rescue and recovery efforts, but I would appreciate hearing how things are with you all. I'm sure Bonny and I are long forgotten, but in case anyone still remembers, they may wish to know that Bonny died in 2000, and I am still around at the age of 88, comfortably established in an independent living retirement community. I can't do much more than pray for you all, but I am doing that and would appreciate hearing from you.
