“Esperanza is thrilled to have Pastor Annemarie guide our forward journey,” said Michelle Tinsley, council president. “Her discerning approach and ability to include all points of view will enable us to build on our strong foundations. I look forward to serving her and the congregation through this transition.”

“I’m so very glad to be coming to serve with all of you at Esperanza,” said Pastor Annemarie. “You are beautifully poised for ministry and outreach in the community, and I’m so looking forward to joining you as we step together with Christ into new beginnings.”

Please remain muted throughout the worship service except where noted, when we welcome Pastor Annemarie Burke with our applause. Please set you Zoom to “Speaker View” for the optimal viewing experience. We are all experienced at Zoom by now, but we could all benefit from a brush up on Zoom skills and etiquette. Here is a link from the synod website with helpful tricks, tips, and etiquette.

This is an important event in the life of Esperanza, but pandemic restrictions are not going to dampen our ability to provide a warm welcome. We can all participate by viewing the installation service online then welcoming her in person!
