 At a specially called Session meeting on June 22, 2006 the Session, on the recommendation of Dr. Emrich and the Personnel Committee, hired the Rev. Carol A. Miller to be Parish Associate with the title of Parish Visitor. Carol has since resigned as Parish Visitor but she continues as our Parish Associate and will be offering various Adult Bible Studies throughout the program year. After retiring from the ministry, Carol and her husband Harry moved back to Saginaw where her daughter lives.  After Carol's husband Harry died of cancer, Carol expressed her desire to become involved in a local congregation. She served for nine years as pastor of the Cadmus Presbyterian Church in Adrian, Michigan. She has clinical pastoral education credentials and her M. Div. from McCormick Seminary. We are blessed to have her ministry among us.
