A Message from Pastor Andrea Chaumont

May 21, 2026

Dear Friends,

We had a wonderful celebration last week honoring Clare Conrad’s 20 years of service at MBPPC. Clare has graciously agreed to stay on in the office until we are able to hire the new office administrator position. 

This week we celebrate the Spirit! It is Pentecost Sunday, the Sunday where the Church remembers God's gift of the Holy Spirit. This week, I will lead worship with my friend and colleague, Adrienne Schlosser-Hall who is also familiar to some of you because she and her husband Corey were members of MBPPC before moving up north. 

Rev. Adrienne Schlosser-Hall is a Minister Member of the Northwest Coast Presbytery. She has been a hospital chaplain and parish minister, mostly focusing on pastoral care. Currently she is serving as a Personal Trainer at a YMCA near her home in Bothell while she discerns her next steps in ministry.

She and her spouse Corey attended Mt. Baker Park Pres for a number of years when their daughters were little. A lot has changed since then: Maya and her husband Aidan are living in Billings, MT and Hannah just graduated from the University of Victoria in British Columbia Canada. When she is not preaching, Adrienne sings with the Seattle Women's Chorus, loves to watercolor, knit and crochet, and spend time with Corey and their labradoodle Percy.

The week of May 31, we will continue on in the gospel of John with John 8:12-20, “I am the light of the world.” As we move into summer, we will also move into the book of Genesis, following the lectionary texts.

May you experience the fresh breath of God this week; the Spirit that fills us with nothing less than the living presence of the risen Jesus!

With hope,

Andrea
