Farewell Brian & Renee

In July we say goodbye to the Rev. Brian Ballard as he prepares to pursue a Ph.D. in homiletics at Princeton Theological Seminary. Brian joined the BMPC staff in June 2019 as the Associate Pastor for Pastoral Care and Senior Adults. Since that time he has cared for the members of this congregation through countless hospital visitations, staffing senior adult events and trips, presiding at funerals and memorial services, working with the Middleton Counseling Center, and guiding our Caring Ministries Team. We wish Brian the best of luck and will send him off with our prayers and blessings at a reception after church on Sunday, July 16.

Thank You Brian!

It has been a true joy and privilege to serve this vibrant congregation! While I am excited for what is ahead, I will miss this community immensely. The love, generosity, and welcome Amy, Florence and I have received is something we will always cherish.

- Brian

Thank You Renee!

For six years Renee Malnak served our congregation faithfully as the parish social worker. Over these years Renee generously gave of her time and expertise to support church members who were often in moments of great difficulty and challenge. Renee’s compassion and dedication were evident during medical consultations, while leading the DivorceCare program, organizing Deacon flower deliveries, and in her everyday presence to those in need. We will miss Renee, but we wish her well in her exciting new role in which she will continue to care for people in our community.
