ZION'S UNITED CHURCH OF CHRIST, Transfer, Pa needs a pastor. A small two-church charge in Mercer County,Pa. As of Jan.2008, we are without a full-time minister, due to retirement, and though Penn-West Conference is trying to assist us in our search, we are searching other avenues.

Supply Preaching Needed: April 6, May 18, June 15, June 29

We need students who might want to preach an occasional Sunday in a rural church. Perhaps if there are students from the Keene, NH area---somewhere in the Monadnock area---they might combine a Sunday morning with a visit to family.

We have been without a full time minister since Sept. 2006. So far we've done quite well with supplying the pulpit with known area people, some retired. However, we are not the only church in the search process, and there are times it is difficult to find someone.

For example, the following dates are not yet filled: April 6, May 18, June 15, June 29.

Sullivan is a small town just 6 or 7 miles north of Keene. We have a dedicated few who faithfully attend every Sunday, averaging about 30 or 35. It might be a good place for someone to practice..
