The
Reverend Marilyn Gamm is a Presbyterian Minister of the Word and
Sacrament. Before accepting the call to serve Dale Heights beginning in
February of 2006, she had served Presbyterian and Lutheran churches in
Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Kansas, and Illinois.
Pastor Marilyn is
originally from rural Bowling Green, Missouri, and was a broadcast
journalist and executive in Missouri for nine years before going to
Louisville Presbyterian Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky.
She moved to Madison from the Chicago area, where
she moved when she
married her spouse, Craig Howard, whom she met while she served as
Director of Admissions at Louisville Seminary and he was in the same
position for McCormick Theological Seminary in Chicago. Craig is
currently serving as a chief development officer for McCormick,
deployed to Madison. He is also Pastor of Bryn Mawr Presbyterian
Church in Cottage Grove, WI. Craig has two daughters: Jackie and
Judy Howard.
One
of Pastor Marilyn's favorite mottoes is from Montesquieu: “It is always the
adventurers that accomplish great things”.
Among her hobbies and interests are gardening, cooking,
clothing design (she designed and made her clerical vestments), and
church revitalization.
The Rev. Clara Thompson is a Presbyterian Minister of the Word and
Sacrament, Honorably Retired. Clara began working with Dale
Heights as our Transformation Coach for the next three years in January
2011, resourcing and training our Transformation Coordinating Team as
Dale Heights becomes a more missional congregation.
Clara was Pastor of First
Presbyterian Church in Oregon, Wisconsin for 30 years, from which she
retired in 2009. She is married to Paul Thompson and they
live in Madison. We welcome her leadership during this important
time in our Dale Heights church family's life and ministry.
