Meet Our Associate Pastor
The associate pastor in charge of greetings at the Presbyterian Chapel of the Lakes is our church cat,
Buckeye. Her duties include greeting the congregation each Sunday morning by walking amongst us
and rubbing against our legs, visiting with the preschool children for daily hugs and kisses, and…on
occasion…leaving various body parts of dead mice as an offering here and there within and without the
facility.Arriving as a stray in the mid-1990’s, Buckeye…so named by Pastor Tom for reasons that we won’t go into here…has made herself an essential part of the Chapel’s ministry and has pretty much had the run of the place ever since she arrived.
She shares office space with Pastor Tom, with whom she has a close working relationship, both in his pastoral ministry and in his work with the local courts on behalf of children in families going through the crisis of divorce.
The Chapel is very proud that Buckeye chose us for her home, and her presence has been a blessing and a comfort to us all through the years!
