The Trustees of the Popham Chapel are pleased to announce the appointment of Rev. Janet Leighninger as Chaplain of the Popham Chapel for the 2012 season.  Reverend Leighninger earned a BFA degree from the College of New Rochelle, and a Masters of Divinity from Andover Newton Theological School.

A native of Brunswick, Reverend Leighninger made her residence with her family in several eastern states before returning to Maine ten years ago to reside in Kennebunk.  She was appointed Associate Minister of Christ Church, UMC/UCC in 2003, and six years later, Minister of that congregation.  She has also served as On Call Minister and Summer Minister for numerous other congregations including Matinicus Island.

We are grateful that Reverend Leighninger has decided to relocate to her family home in Brunswick, and that she has made herself available to serve the worship community at the Popham Chapel.  She will be leading the Easter morning service, and our Sunday services which begin on Memorial Day weekend, and continue through the end of September.
