New pastor leading All Saints' Episcopal Church

From Georgia-

The Rev. Scott Petersen said laughter drew him to All Saints' Episcopal Church.

“The laughter of the leadership is what attracted me,” said Petersen, who has been serving the 60-plus-year-old Warner Robins congregation since February.

“With the vestry, the elder board, with all the people I interviewed with there was a lot of laughter,” he said. “I took that as a good sign that All Saints’’ had a group of people that would be fun to work and do ministry with.”

Petersen said as a new rector it’s a priority to get to know the people of All Saints’ and let them get to know him. But he said this discovery period extends beyond getting to know one another. He said it’s a time when the church is rediscovering its purpose as well as a time to help others outside the church discover All Saints’.
