Our Pastor
Session contracted with Rev. Robert Schirmer to fill our pulpit on a part time basis for a period of one year to December 31, 2011. Rob began serving our congregation on November 1, 2010 officially as a temporary supply. Rob has been well received by all who have met him and is doing a great job for our church. Session renews the church’s covenant with Rob each year and we fully hope that he is in our pulpit for many years to come.
Since 2007, Rob has been working full time for Hospice and Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley as “Spiritual Care Coordinator”. His previous work has included teaching at an Alternative School and at a Community Christian Academy where he worked with special needs students. Rob spent two years in Lusaka, Zambia as an Instructor/Pastor of the Continuing Anglican Church of Zambia. Before his mission to Zambia, Rob was Pastor at three churches in Wisconsin. Bob obtained Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees from Western Illinois University in Macomb, Illinois and Master of Divinity from Nashotah House Seminary in Nashotah, Wisconsin. Rev. Schirmer’s religious background and education was founded in the Episcopalian Church but his faith led him to the Continuing Anglican Church. Hopefully Rob will provide us with stories about his experiences from his richly varied background.
Rob is serving our Congregation on a part time basis, contracted to be 15 – 20 hours per week. We need to always keep in mind that Rob has a full time job and that we must function as a church helping ourselves and assisting Rob in any way possible.
