Dear Members and Friends of ORUCC,

We write to share our heartfelt welcome of former ORUCC senior pastor Winton Boyd and his wife Tammy Boyd to worship services and other special events on an occasional basis. They will join us this coming Sunday June 19 to support their daughter Kythie as she leads music in worship.

Winton and Tammy will continue to be regular attenders of Holy Wisdom Monastery where they are committed to serving. Winton will not perform any pastoral roles at ORUCC such as pastoral care, weddings, baptisms, or funerals.

Julia and Winton have built a trusting relationship with one another. Winton celebrates and supports Julia in her ministry and will pass anything of a pastoral nature on to Julia.

We lift up ORUCC in gratitude and give thanks for this community of faith that will embrace them together: Julia as our leader and senior pastor and Winton and Tammy as our friends and supporters.

Yours in God’s Holy Name,

Barbara Stretchberry

Rev. Dr. Julia Burkey

Senior Pastor
