Aloha and Welcome to the Deuprees

WELCOMING the Rev. Neil and Kay Deupree!

Rev. Neil Deupree, a retired Disciples of Christ pastor, will serve as our new Visiting Associate Minister.  Pastor Neil and his wife Kay will arrive in mid-October and stay with us through to the end of January, 2013.

Previously, Pastor Neil spent 10 weeks in Hilo training for Peace Corps service in the Philippines.   He looks forward to sharing this Hilo experience with Kay.

When Pastor Tom directed the Interchurch Council of Greater Cleveland (1983-96), he knew Rev. Deupree who was then pastor of the Franklin Circle Christian Church (1976-90).

The United Church of Christ and the Disciples of Christ/Christian Church share in mission ministry around the world, and also share in the mutual recognition of ordained clergy.

The Deuprees currently live in Janesville, WI.  Pastor Neil graduated from Iowa State University (’64) and Christian Theological Seminary (’70) in Indianapolis, IN.

We extend our warmest aloha during their stay with us at the Church of the Holy Cross!
