James Eaton\u2014Jim\u2014<\/strong> has served churches in Washington, Wisconsin, Michigan and Connecticut and most recently in New York. &#8220;My focus has been on helping congregations renew, redevelop and recover their passion for mission and ministry.&#8221; After retiring in 2021, he has now become the Interim Pastor at Locust Grove United Church of Christ in York, PA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jim is married to Jacquelyn and has three kids and five grandkids. &#8220;Like a lot of families, we are scattered in geography but close in feeling. We are so blessed to share life as we all grow and change.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He&#8217;s also passionate about sailing. Jim and Jacquelyn sail a classic Alberg 35 sloop named <em>Pendragon<\/em> out of Baltimore, MD. &#8220;Celtic monks speak of thin places, where it becomes easier to feel God moving and sailing is that for me. As the wind lifts the sails, I feel God moving my life the same way.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Help me make this blog better by commenting below!<\/h3>\n\n\n<div
