New Phone Contacts for Pastors

There is a new and easier way to reach your pastors by phone. (207)-619-1509 is the new number to reach the pastors. This number has it's own voice mail set up to foward calls and voice mails to one or both pastors depending on who is on call. This is the best way to get a quicker response, though there are obviously some times we cannot answer.

Each of us will then have our own phone. You will be able to call the pastors individually, though according to our current policy, we will screen calls during our family times and get back when our schedule allows unless it is an emergency. Jamie's number is 799-6814 and Gwyneth's number is 409-5530.

Roughly, our current schedule is as follows: Pastor Gwyneth on call Monday mornings, Tuesday afternoons, and Wednesdays. Pastor Jamie on call Monday afternoons, Tuesday mornings and Thursdays. Fridays are covered by the preaching pastor that week. During the school year, Saturday is our day off. You know where to find us on Sunday!


As another note, the church office phone, 799-1413, continues to be out-of-service, and this is currently forwarded to one of our cell phones. Trustees will continue to work on this in the coming weeks and will hopefully be resolved soon.
Our emails will remain unchanged. Pastor Gwyneth AND Pastor Jamie: thearrisons at peoplesumc.com Pastor Gwyneth: gwyneth at peoplesumc.com Pastor Jamie: jamie at peoplesumc.com


If you have any questions about these new contacts please let us know. Thank you for your patience with these changes, and we do hope that this will eventually create paths for smoother communication.

Why couldn't the 799-6814 number, which people have known for years as the pastors home number, be the primary number to call?

Which is the number one could call anytime for pastoral care. Of course one knows it could go to a answering machine, and a return call would be forth coming.

At times - one can barely remember their own schedule never mind knowing who to call when for pastoral care.
