Leadership
At St. Paul’s, everybody is a minister. We all find our way to serve God and each other. Here are the official leaders of our parish:
Retired Rector
Mother Allison Carnahan resigned in November because of persistent health problems, and we are currently searching for a new priest. The search committee is headed by Senior Warden Katherine Staller. All inquiries should be addressed to vchappell@diosusquehanna.org
The Reverend Jim Jenkins
Deacon
Deacon Jim was ordained in 2015 and joined the staff of St Paul’s in March 2017. He is a transplant from St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church in Eugene, OR, which was his first assignment as deacon.
He has served in a wide variety of roles in our parish over the years, and has been invaluable in in leading the parish in church services and liturgy, Christian Education, Ashes to Go, and community events.
Patty Creasy
Parish Secretary
Can you imagine how valuable a single person’s continuing presence and effort can be to an organization? Patty has been with us for decades.
So you will understand how important Patty’s work is to our parish. She knows what to do. Patty is in the office part time, so here is contact information: Cell– 570-594-1056, email saintpaulsbloom@gmail.com.
Alan Hack
Music Director
For the past 18 years, I have spent my career as a teacher and administrator in public education across the Lehigh Valley and here in Central Pennsylvania. Currently, I have the honor of serving as the Assistant Executive Director/Chief Academic Officer at the Central Susquehanna Intermediate Unit in Montandon where I oversee all the academic programs and services within our 5-county region.
In addition, music has always been a large part of my life as evidenced by my tenure as the Director of Music at St. Matthew Lutheran Church and the Director of the Jubilate Choir and Orchestra since 2005. My wife, Danielle, and I reside in Stillwater with our twin boys, Grayson and Liam, ages 7, on a corner of my parents’ farm.
