Dear Members and Friends of Westbrook Congregational Church,
 
The Interim Pastor Search Committee would like to share some wonderful news!
 
After a series of interviews, prayerful consideration and seeking guidance from the Holy Spirit, our committee has recommended to the Church Cabinet that we call Rev. Suzanne Personette to serve as our full time Intentional Interim Pastor. The Cabinet has unanimously approved our recommendation and Rev. Personette has responded by accepting this call!
 
Rev. Personette’s ministry with WCC is set to begin on January 12, 2021. Rev. Suz., as we have come to call her, comes to us with many years of experience in Interim Ministry. Most recently, she has served the First Congregational Church in Branford, CT.  She resides nearby, in Essex. The Search Committee believes passionately that Rev. Personette will offer excellent transitional leadership during this season of change for our congregation. In getting to know her, we have been lifted up by her energy, enthusiasm and warmth!
 
As we reach closure in our search, the committee would like to thank WCC staff and volunteers, who in their commitment and dedication, have kept our worship and ministries alive and well. We look forward to welcoming Rev. Personette to the WCC family, thus beginning a new chapter in the life of our church!
 
In Christ,
 
The Interim Pastor Search Committee,
