It is with joy we announce that it is the intention of Bishop Debbie Wallace Padgett to appoint co-pastors to the Milton-Bethesda charge. Rev Jessica Kayembe will serve as our lead pastor and will be joined by the Rev. Annette Carper.

Pastor Jessica is originally from the Democratic Republic of the Congo and comes to us via the United Methodist Connection. She is a graduate of Africa University and Drew Theological School, both United Methodist schools. After graduating with her Master of Divinity in 2024, she joined us in WV to serve as the associate pastor at Elizabeth Memorial. She and her husband Daddy, who is a chef, have a 5 month old son named “Gamy”

Pastor Annette is originally from WV and is retiring as an Elder at Annual Conference this year. She currently serves as the pastor of Johnson Memorial. She just moved into her retirement home in Ceredo and is getting her dog and cats settled into their new home. She hopes to enjoy supporting the mission and ministry of the charge as well as develop some retirement hobbies, like learning to do watercolor painting!

Please join us in welcoming these two ladies!

It was crazy getting into the church for Wednesday dinner when it was raining so very hard. But now we have the rainbow.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice reminds us of the words in John 15:13:
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

We give thanks for their courage, hold grieving families close in prayer, and reflect on the freedoms their sacrifice helped protect. May their selflessness never be forgotten. 🤍
