I am pleased to announce the Pastor John Barber as agreed to become
of new Chaplain. John has been at the First Congregational Church
here in Holden for 14 years so we know the town well and has many of
our members in his congregation. John will begin coming to our
trainings and meetings soon and will try to learn all of our names
and faces! Please reach out to John and welcome him to our
department!<br>

About our new Chaplain....<font color="#000000"
face="Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif" size="2"> John grew up the son
of a congregational minister and has lived here in New England his
whole life and in Massachusetts since he was 5. He attended the
University of Massachusetts in Amherst from where he received his
bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering and worked for New
England Telephone in Worcester (now Verizon) for most of the
1990s. During that time John felt God's increasing call to go
into full-time ministry and eventually decided to go for it. He
graduated from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in 2000 and
became pastor of the First Congregational Church later that same
year.<br>
<br>
God has blessed John with a wonderful soul mate and life partner,
his wife Kathy. He has also blessed John and Kathy with two
lively children Tim and Katie. John says. " I love to sing. I
love to talk. I love to hang out and have fun."<br>
