As an intentional interim minister for more than three decades, Lynn Carman Bodden has been coming and going much of her life making hellos and goodbyes a regular part of the job.
This weekend, however, as the First Reformed Church of Schenectady joins with some of its Stockade neighbors to mark its annual Heritage Sunday, Bodden, after just three months on the job, will feel not only right at home but also quite settled.
“I think this is going to be the last one,” said Bodden, who started at First Reformed on Oct. 15 and expects to continue in her temporary role as senior pastor for another 12 months or so, then retire. “The role has fit me. I’ve learned a lot from dealing with different congregations, and I’ve been able to see when they do something well and take that to another congregation and share that with them.”
