Pastor Bill Barter is our Transition Pastor.
His ministry involves guiding the people of Holy Cross Lutheran Church in the calling of a new pastor. Until the new pastor is called, Pastor Barter is responsible for all of the pastoral and administrative needs of Holy Cross, along with the Congregation Council. He is getting help with Sunday services from Pastor John Corgan and Pastor Tim Krick, both well-known to our congregation. Pastor Barter was ordained in 1982, and has mostly served churches in Maine, with a three-year temporary term in Chicago. Although he is on the retired roster, he still serves the New England Synod part-time, assisting the Bishop and offering resources to congregations. If you have a pastoral need, you can reach Pastor Barter at his direct New England Synod phone: (207) 854-4321.
