In June, South Church will say a tearful farewell to senior minister Denny Moon, who is retiring, and to associate minister Sandra Fischer, who is moving on to the next stage in her ministerial career.
Moon has served the Granby community for decades, between his earlier stint as the minister of Pilgrim Covenant Church and his years with South Church. A singer/songwriter as well as a storyteller and a gifted preacher, Moon’s ministry will be celebrated in an evening of stories and songs on Saturday, June 11, followed by a farewell service on Sunday, June 12.
The following Sunday, June 19, will be a farewell service celebrating Fischer’s remarkable years of ministry. We know there will be plenty of tears, since both Denny and Sandra are apt to get choked up on a regular basis! But there will be joy, and love, and profound thanksgiving for their ministry to the South Church community.
A search committee will be formed to find an interim minister to help through the transition from the departed ministers to a new permanent minister, a process that may take two-to-three years.
