A Message from Pastor Andrea Chaumont

January 14, 2026

Dear Mt. Baker Park Church,

This Sunday the Rev. Keith Tanis will preach on Hebrews 13:2. His sermon is titled “An Unexpected Visit.” Keith was the Executive Presbyter of the Olympia Presbytery from 2013-2016. He served as the bridge pastor for Westside Presbyterian Church in 2018 before they called the Rev. Laurie Brenner. He currently leads a protestant worship service once a month in a Catholic nursing home. He is a graduate of San Francisco Theological Seminary and I am sure you will enjoy hearing from him.

I won’t be in worship with you this week as I am taking a vacation day to go visit my parents in Northern California who have been having some health issues. Next week I am on study leave (January 20 - January 22) to attend a the pastor’s retreat for PNW Presbyterian pastors hosted by the Northwest Coast Presbytery. I was asked to lead one of the four session for the pastors who will gather at Rosario Beach (for time of rest and renewal) on the theme of Love. I look forward to being in worship with you again on Sunday, January 25th. 

Please continue to pray for the Nominating Committee. They are working hard to pray and discern your PNC (pastoral nominating committee). Their next meeting is January 20th. 

Finally, If you are interested in learning more about baptism or membership, or being baptized at Mt. Baker Park Church, please reach out to me at pastor@mtbakerchurch.org or 360-362-5274 (call or text).

It is a privilege to serve alongside you in this season of transition at MBPPC.

Blessings,

Andrea
