Methodist Churches To Share Pastor

At Umi current session of the Sot! hem New Jersey Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church, a new plan was announced for the ministry of the two United Methodist Churches in Greater Wildwood whereby one pastor will serve the combined parish but each congregation will maintain its own identity and independent organization. The new pastor of the enlarged parish will be the Rev. Dr. William Anderson Wenker, who comes to his .•new appointment from a varied background. IN 1974, Dr. Wenker retired from the Navy as a commander to attend the Lexington Theological Seminary in Kentucky where he was graduated with the degree of Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.) and appointed to the Hudson United Methodist Church in Pedricktown and the Haines Neck United Methodist Church in Mannington Township. The same year he was ordained a Deacon and in 1979 ordained an Elder and made a full member of the Southern New Jersey Annual Conference. In addition to one pastor, the principal adjustment will be in the time of worship for each congregation, since the pastor will need to travel about four miles between churches. FOR THE NEXT two Sundays in June, the schedule of services will be 9:30 a m. id WTildwood

Crest and 11:15 a.m. in North Wildwood (with Hymn Sing beginning 11.) For the summer months, there will be two services in the Wildwood Crest Church (first United Methodist) at 8:30 and 11 a.m. The North Wildwood Church will continue its service at 11. During July and August. Pastor Wenker will be assisted by the Rev. Dr. Fred H. Heather, who served as pastor of the North Wildwood Church from 1973 to 1977 and, briefly, as Interim Pastor of FiFst Church Wildwood in 1979. The two Pastors will share pulpits during the Summer, with Dr. Wenker preaching primarily at First Church (Wildwood Crest) and Dr. Heather at North Wildwood. Topic ‘Way To Honor’ RIO GRANDE - The Rev. Guy L. Rathmell, pastor, will preach on "The Way to Honor" at 11 a.m. worship service in Grace Gospel Chapel, Sunday.
