Reverend Jenny Boteler
Pastor
Pastor Jenny is a child of the United Church of Christ, growing up at St. Peter UCC in Houston, Texas. She is a graduate of Eden Theological Seminary, St. Louis and was ordained in 1986. Before coming to Green River, Jenny served churches in Toledo, Ohio and Indianapolis. IN.
Originally Jenny was going to be a veterinarian. Some folks still can't believe she gave up animals to work with people. And sometimes she wonders about that too. But seriously, Jenny has a heart for people.
"We live in a world that is constantly battering at the heart and soul of people. Everyone needs to know that they matter to God. Far too often people feel torn down. The good news of Jesus is that every person is beloved, beautiful to behold."
Ministry in Green River is all about proclaiming God's love for all people, no matter who, no matter what, no matter where they are on life's journey.
Pastor Jenny also serves as Chaplain to Sweetwater County Hospice and is a certified Grief Recovery Method Specialist.

Bill Hoyt
organist, musician
Bill has been a member of Union Congregational for quite some time and we are blessed to have Bill on our organ bench Sunday mornings accompanying us as we sing our songs of praise and prayer.
Bill, a native of Wyoming, moved to Green River way back when with his wife, Janet, to teach music in our elementary schools. Bill recently retired from the Sweetwater School District #2 after 46 years of teaching children the joys of music as well as how to make it - both with instruments and voice.
You can also find Bill playing trumpet with Sweetwater Sounds or singing bass in Don't Quit Your Day Job. He is a gift of music and good humor in our midst.
