Introducing our New Pastor: Rev. Paul Sink

Marshall Presbyterian is delighted to introduce our new pastor, Rev. Paul Sink. Paul and Jennifer will be coming to us from Taylorsville Presbyterian, where Paul has served as pastor since 2007. He is active in Rotary, in Scouts, at Camp Grier, and as a community ally with the PRIDE club at Alexander Central High School. Paul writes: “My life and ministry have been focused on sharing the love of Jesus Christ with all of God’s children so that everyone feels welcome and included.” This is exactly how we feel at Marshall Presbyterian!

Jennifer is an Occupational Therapist who has accepted a job at Mission Hospital, and she and Paul have two grown children. Paul is also a woodworker, and looking forward to getting to know the craftspeople of our community. They are both excited to be starting the next chapter of their lives together in Marshall!

Paul's first Sunday with us will be September 20th. We can't wait to introduce him to our community. Please join us for the service and a reception to follow!

Community choir starting July 20!

A community choir is coming to Marshall!

Come make some joyful noise with us on Monday evenings beginning July 21.

🎵 Monday evenings starting July 20
🎵 6:30 pm
🎵 Marshall Presbyterian Church Sanctuary

The idea for bringing a choir together grew out of planning for Marshall Presbyterian Church's September 27 rededication service, but our hope is much broader than that: simply to sing together as a community.

Performances are not our objective, though we suspect the choir may pop up here and there — in whole or in part — including at the September 27 service.

No auditions. No experience required. Just a chance to gather, raise our voices together, and enjoy making music.

The sanctuary is wheelchair accessible, childcare can be provided (please let us know if that would help you attend), and everyone is welcome.

Laurel Country Pride Festival

Come enjoy the music and stop by to say "hi" to us Marshall Pres, Mars Hill United Methodist Church, and the Episcopal Church of the Holy Spirit (Mars Hill) as we share a table at the afternoon Laurel Country Pride Festival:

• July 21
• 12-5pm
• Big Pillow Brewing, 25 Andrews Ave N., Hot Springs
