A few words from our new Pastor:

"I am wonderful grateful about being here at St. Andrew and in Purcellville. In former ministries I have been active in our community, even having a radio call-in talk show where I became known as a "rappin rev". I came here from Macomb, Michigan where I had the privilege of organizing a new Presbyterian congregation and to be its first pastor. Bonnie is teaching 7th grade language arts at Eagle Ridge Middle School in Ashburn. I like reading, hiking, swimming, softball, basketball, cycling and golf. We love our children to bits and are somewhat rabid University of Michigan sports fans because of their studies there. I enjoy playing the guitar, but really enjoy listening to those who play it well. I hail from San Diego, California where I used to surf and find that I am strongly aware of God's presence in nature, even as I see the revelation of God happening where Jesus lives among us, as happens in congregations. I have found myself to be an immediate fan of the Nationals, Redskins and Wizards, although I still like the Dee-troit Pistons and Red Wings, as well as my hometown Padres and Chargers. It is invigorating to live in a place with vibrant echoes of American history. I am soaking it in."
