Celebrating our Seminarians!

Ryan Maclean

During my time at HPC, I had the great privilege of serving on two committees, Engaging Justice & Services and Nurture & Growth, and helping facilitate Worship & Wonder. One of my favorite memories of my time at HPC was taking a small but mighty group of volunteers to the Farminary last fall. Together we learned about compost, helped winterize the fields, and thought theologically about what the earth might teach us about our faith journey. Although I am officially done with my internship at HPC, I plan to stick around for Sunday worship as I finish up my program at Princeton Seminary.

As the Hopewell Council of Churches intern, I had the privilege of participating in all five churches' worship services, leading ecumenical services and a book study, working with the Chubby's Project, and building a Council website. My favorite memory was being received and supported so wonderfully as I learned how to preach. While I will be interning at Morrisville Presbyterian Church next year, I am still a member under care of HPC in the ordination process and will be present in church life!

I have had the absolute honor of working at HPC for two years (first as an intern, then as Children’s Ministry Lead). I have way too many fun memories with all of you to choose just one, but I especially loved my time hanging out with the youth at the LBI retreat, having dance parties with our youngest worshippers, and of course, all of the social media staff shenanigans. At the end of May, I will be graduating from Princeton Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity. Beginning in June, I will be the full-time Director of Children’s and Youth Ministry at Calvary Presbyterian Church in South Pasadena, California. Thank you for everything!
