SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – The First Congregational Church United Church of Christ is very pleased to announce that Michael Mario joined the church as full-time pastor Nov. 1, 2020. Pastor Michael had been serving as the Church’s Bridge Pastor for the prior 30 months. At the end of October, Michael retired from 20 years with UNFI in Chesterfield where he held a number of positions in natural food sales.

Not only does Pastor Michael preach inspirational sermons, but he is also a talented musician, songwriter, and vocalist. Michael plays guitar, banjo, autoharp, and often adds his music and voice to our service. He truly loves sharing worship through song. Check out our website at www.fccuccspftvt.org to see and hear Michael.
