Words of Wisdom from Pastor Joan
'Hello visitors to Stillwater Federated Church website! I am
Rev. Joan DeSanctis, Pastor of SFC. I arrived here in July of 2007, after
serving churches in Woodstown, N.J., North Brewer/Eddington UMC in Eddington,
Me., Bangor First UMC, in Bangor, Me., and Kenduskeag Union Church, in
Kenduskeag, Me.. So, I bring a wealth of experience and a lot of appreciation
and love for the people of God everywhere.
I have found the congregation here to be among the most
active and dedicated I've ever served. They began the program year with a
wonderful Stillwater Fest, hosting the people of Stillwater Village all day with
games, music, food, gifts, and even clowns! Their Sunday School year has begun
with a small but mighty group of young people and highly committed teachers.
Bean Suppers also have begun, which bring folks from far and wide to enjoy the
special offerings the people of the church provide each time. The outreach and
mission record of Stillwater Church sets a pace for any other I've known.
I feel proud and privileged to serve such an up and running
congregation that seeks to serve the Lord in so many ways. Please join us each
Sunday at 9am for a faith-filled worship experience. The choir is especially
uplifting! Hope to see you in Stillwater, Maine!'
