Mount Ayr Record-News
Mount Ayr, Ringgold County, Iowa
March, 1982

Potter leaving churches here

Rev. Lynn POTTER, one of the pastors of the Mount Ayr Larger parish with its four United Methodist churches - Mount Ayr, Redding, Blockton and Middle Fork - announced last week that he is taking a sabbatical year.

This is a relationship allowed by the denomination for clergy who have served six or more consecutive years. His fourth year here will be completed this June. This was his second appointment in Iowa. The first was in Linden Church in Waterloo from 1973-78.

POTTER will return to Mount Ayr after annual conference in Des Moines, being held Fune 4-8, to preach in the Parish one more Sunday. Then he will direct the Rock Folk Festival camp at Cedar Falls June 13-19 and drive to New York state the following week.

The sabbatical year will be spent at "The Center for the Living Force", a 300-acre, non-profit, educational and spiritual community in the Catskill Mountains, near Phoenicia, about 100 miles northwest of New York City. Rev. POTTER has participated there several times in workshops and continuing education events, and anticipates this 12 months as a time of learning, growth as a person and a pastor, renewal and retreat.

He will not be salaried, except for room and board granted in return for 24 hours a week of work in the office, kitchen and in maintenance. His plans are to return to Iowa in June of 1982 to be appointed as a pastor of some other church or parish.
