To our FPC family – 

We are thrilled to update you on FPC’s Interim Pastor Search Committee!

After interviewing our finalists, listening to multiple sermons online, many prayers, and thoughtful discussion, our committee made a recommendation to Session that we hire Rev. Glen Reichelderfer as our new Interim Pastor! After additional discussion, and a time to answer some great questions from Session, our Elders decided unanimously to offer the position to Pastor Glen. We can’t be more excited! Pastor Glen has an incredibly deep faith along with being a great listener and strong preacher. He has 20 years of experience as a pastor and has previously held 3 other Interim Pastor positions.

Pastor Glen will begin at FPC on September 1, 2022 and will lead us through a process that Interim Pastors are trained for — taking our church through a visioning process that will guide us in our search for our Called and Installed Senior Pastor. Overall, this process is estimated to take 18 months, and we are blessed to have Pastor Glen to help guide and support us in this journey. 

Thank you for praying for us and for FPC’s upcoming transition. Please know that you can reach out to any of us with questions.

**God, we ask that you guide FPC as we transition into a new phase of church life. Many changes are ahead, and we pray that we receive your new shepherd humbly and with love and support. Prepare Pastor Glen and prepare us as we move into a season of reflection and transformation, in Jesus’ mighty Name, Amen!**

With love,

We are looking for some help in Children’s Ministry!
Are you someone who likes to work with kids, someone who likes to plan events (Trunk or Treat, Easter Trail, etc.), someone who likes to do work in the background to make events a success, or someone that likes to have a great time praising God! Children’s Ministry is looking for you!
We have several areas that we would need some extra help with!  If you have any questions please contact Patricia Coley, Director of Children’s Ministry at pcoley@myfpc.org.

Roxy and Alan Fauque moved to Wisconsin 7 years ago from Bozeman, MT to follow their daughter Emily. Since then, they have a son-in- law and 2 precious grandchildren as well. Both are retired music teachers and have performed together in social events and as contemporary worship musicians. 

Roxy prepared 126 sixth graders to perform a premier composition at Carnegie Hall in New York City. She also was honored with a Yale Distinguished Music Educator award. Upon arriving in Mount Horeb, she taught music in the schools for 4 more years.

Alan has performed in a myriad of venues and genres. He is currently performing with the All That Jazz big band and Whoz Playing, a classic rock band. 

After 37 years of faithful service to God as FPC of Waunakee’s Church Organist, the time has come for Pat Ronspiez to take her final bow. Pat has been a true Godsend for FPC, and her time with us goes all the way back to the little church on Fish Street.

During her tenure, Pat has not only provided our congregation with beautiful music during our normal Sunday worship services but has also been there for numerous weddings, funerals, and other special events. Pat and her musical talents have been a true blessing and cause for giving thanks. 

Love offerings for Pat will be collected July 19 – August 18. You can donate to Pat’s love offering via check (noting “Pat” in the memo line) or online by clicking here and indicate that it is for Pat.

Thank you,
Doug Brown
Personnel Elder
