Wynemah Hinlicky, from St. John's Church in Poughkeepsie with an undergraduate degree in social work, became official pastor in September. She was the first ordained woman to serve as pastor in our church. She used her gifts for ministry to great effect: She began building the confidence of the congregation and reversing the downward spiral that had begun in the previous decade. She worked full-time as a part-time pastor!
According to church historian Mark Anderson, Pastor Hinlicky is an excellent liturgist. As well as her fine voice, she has an intuitive as well as a schooled grasp of liturgy.
Victoria Langling, as co-founder and general director, continued to administer the Daily Bread Soup Kitchen, in partnership with area restaurants and with all the local Christian churches, the Jewish congregation, and the Onteora Teachers Association. According to Langling,
We have learned that there are many who are hungry and come to our church soup kitchen, but we have also learned that many are there for the companionship that comes from sharing a community table. Some early supporters: Barbara and Don Stephens, Carmen & David Adler, Marie Schussler aka "The Cookie Lady," Francis J. Turmo, Joe & Hedi Jorgensen, Nancy Pape, Lois Ostapczuk, Bob Langling, Bob & Carolyn Barrette, Bill & Chris Cox, Lai Look, Dottie & Bob Balzer, Kristen Scialampo, Henry Guendel, Pastor Hinlicky,… Pastor Emeritus Walter Kortrey, and all families and spouses who worked with them and/or allow them to keep this commitment.(1)
