NEW CARE PASTOR

At the end of September, Don Rohrbacher retired as our Care Pastor. Don has served on staff in this capacity for the past ten years. He will continue teaching the SALT ABF. We thank Don for his faithful service. Please wish

him well as you pass him in the hallways.

We are pleased to welcome Bob Weiss who has stepped into the Care Pastor role.

Bob’s desire is to minister to people within a hospital context, to those who are shut-ins, within a nursing home or hospice setting, or to anyone in this troubled world searching for biblical hope for the future and for an eternal perspective based on a personal

relationship with Jesus Christ. He finds it satisfying to remind people of God’s faithfulness to keep His promises, of His love for them, and of His gracious provision for them, both now and

forever.

Bob spent more than 30 years both training at Penn State and then teaching mechanical engineering and math. Later, he used his ministry training from numerous correspondence

courses (from Moody Bible Institute, Grace Theological Seminary in Winona Lake IN, and Dallas Theological Seminary), to teach Bible classes, and to serve as a hospice chaplain for 12 years in Indiana and Texas.

He lives with his wife Cindy in Norton near their daughter and three grandsons. He finds his role as a Care Pastor and as a part-time ABF teacher extremely satisfying.
