Rev. Rich and Jan Peacock lit a candle

“We treasure Karen's four years as my trustworthy Associate Pastor at Nardin Park UMC. She gifted us with creativity, dance, and progressive Christianity. I greatly appreciated the way she packed my confirmation learning centers as well as her leadership in Christian education, missions, pastoral care, and preaching. We also totally enjoyed Gary and Beth and hearing about the adventures of her sons. We are grateful for her witness for justice that was rooted in her Shalom/Salaam Spirit!”
