A Place for… Connecting Growing Helping Community
Rooted in a rich history with a hope-filled eye on the future, Bedford Presbyterian Church is a gathering place for all who are seeking a deeper connection with the Holy at the heart of all life.

This past week, I stepped into Michelle Jones’ office at the church and asked the odd question that I ask every year at this time: “Could you please look and give me a list of everyone who has died since November 1, 2025?”

Yes, I know. . . It’s a weird question….

We’ve come a long way, together. . . Amy and I first arrived in New Hampshire – thirteen years
ago, this week – truly and humbly believing that God had called us here. In those early days in
Bedford, I can remember looking up at a section of the church’s roof and spotting a few shingles
that were peeling. I can also remember being told, “Oh yeah. . . if we don’t replace the roof (and
the front portico) with money we haven’t raised yet, the insurance company won’t insure the
building.” “Yikes!” I thought. “What has God gotten us into?!?” Thankfully, God’s good future
was on the way. . .
