Bill Barnes writes, “I’ve been in the all-volunteer Farmington Valley Symphony Orchestra for some 30 years now. We play six concerts a year and even performed in Carnegie Hall back in 2008. What a thrill that was! I retired from full-time ministry after a dozen years as senior pastor of Prospect United Methodist Church, in Bristol, CT. Since then, I have been an interim pastor in three Connecticut communities, Lakeville, Wethersfield and West Hartford. I still fill in at nearby pulpits from time to time.”
