A Word from Our Trustees about Our Parsonage

As you know, Pastor Wendy and her family have moved into their own home and so we are grateful to be welcoming Rev. Zothian and Caroline Mawia into the New Hope parsonage beginning July 1. Rev. Mawia has been appointed as the pastor at Edison Park UMC. The Mawias have three grown children living in other parts of the United States. Rev. Mawia has been the bishop of the Methodist Church in Burma/Myanmar for the past ten years. He will be studying at Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary while serving as pastor of Edison Park UMC. If you see them around the parsonage, please give them a warm welcome! As part of our appreciation, we took up the carpet, refinished the hardwood floors and are in the midst of painting.
