Skyland Community Church is delighted to announce that the Reverend Melanie Janet Weiner has accepted the congregation’s call to be our new settled pastor.
Reverend Weiner was ordained into ministry in 2014 and served as Associate Minister at Foothills Congregational Church in Los Altos until late 2019. Her roles included that of Faith Formation Minister. The Foothills congregation valued Reverend Weiner for her stimulating sermons, Biblical knowledge, spiritual wisdom, and ability to connect with all age groups. In her spare time she may be found creating interesting things with yarn or fabric, hiking one of the many local trails, or reading with her face in the sun and her toes in the sand.
We are confident that Reverend Melanie will be an inspiring presence in our mountain community. Her first worship service will be on Sunday, July 5 and, whether by video or in person, we warmly welcome you. Please stay tuned for other opportunities to meet Reverend Weiner. Reverend Kevin Omi will complete his time as Interim Senior Minister on June 14. We are grateful for his service.
