35. Our Pastor

36. I continue to be amazed by the work
God is doing through Hedding United
Methodist Church. The Sharing the
Grace campaign will enhance our
ministries with an accessible rest
room, an expanded food shelf, and
ensure that our steeple remains a
beacon of hope in Barre. Each day I
see lives transformed as we share
God’s grace and love with our
neighbors. We are blessed to be a
blessing.
