The wilderness is uncertain, and getting through it can seem confusing as the comforts of routine are left behind. But the wilderness experience can be a time of exploration and discovery. As we enter our time of transitional ministry, we'll explore the joys of the journey.
The Rev. Samuel Schaal begins an 18-month term as our Transition Minister beginning January 1. Sam comes to our church from the 800-member First Congregational Church of Wauwatosa, Wis., where he has served as Associate Minister since 2003. Before that, he completed a successful three-year transitional ministry with the Unitarian Universalist Church West of Brookfield, Wis. Sam received full fellowship with the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) in 1998, and has also served churches in Texas. Before being called to ministry, Rev. Sam, who is single and has two grown sons, enjoyed a successful career in the business sector. He was our Lewis Ministerial Intern from January to June 1997.
