Church Calendar

Both Sarah and Donna bring their own strengths to the team. Sarah, a 2020 Princeton graduate, is a member of PUMC's youth staff, a worship dancer, and a local teacher. While a student at Princeton, she was also part of the campus ministry which Skitch runs at the university. Through her depth of knowledge in both arenas, "she is able to bridge the University and PUMC, making her perfect for the role," said Skitch. Donna serves on PUMC's Church Council and has had training in spiritual direction. "She has a depth of discernment that will help us, as a church, to listen deeply to our own souls, while listening to where God is stirring inside of us," Skitch added.

As the Wesley Foundation's Methodist Campus Minister at Princeton, Skitch has already fostered a relationship between PUMC and the university. What the Vinery grant will do is build on what has already been accomplished and provide " space to take us in a new direction," said Skitch, adding that "Good campus ministry is deeply connected to the local church. College students have something unique to offer the church, and church members have something unique to offer college students."

While Skitch and his team have no idea where God is going to take them over the two-year Vinery journey, he is confident that "we'll see God at work in us, and through us, to lead us to further flourishing. I have no idea how, but I'm confident it will happen. There's some joy and some anxiety in that, but that seems to be at the nexus of where faithfulness resides."

Participants from the eight different churches were paired up for discernment and listening.
