Sunday, June 16, 2019 has become a historic day for our congregation as we voted to Call Rev. Michael T. Bush by a 100% majority as our new settled Senior Minister. Pastor Michael, as he prefers, is currently in his eighth year at the United Church of Christ at Valley Forge, PA and has now given his required 60-day notice. He comes to us with 25 years’ experience as a UCC senior pastor having served in four other churches on both coasts. He anticipates being relocated to Tucson and in the office in early September.
