About Sara

I'm writing a book. It's the story of the end of St. Peter Lutheran Church in North Plainfield, New Jersey and the blessed new beginnings that arose in the years after. St. Peter's ending was full of faith and courage and hope. And the new beginnings have been for St. Peter people, for St. Peter's church building, and for the wider church.

I can't wait to share this story with you. I was blessed to serve as St. Peter's pastor from 2006 until its holy closure in 2009. And I've been blessed to trace many large and small resurrections that, 15 years later, are abundantly evident.

Subscribe and watch this space as the book takes final shape. You'll get the very first look into this story of faith, hope, and love.
