Justis hits milestone

Pastor David O. Justis, of the Lewisburg First United Church of Christ, made history as the longest-serving pastor in the church’s history when he marked his 21st year serving the congregation this past Sunday. Pastor Justis, an Eastern Shore of Maryland native, accepted the congregation’s call the Sunday after Thanksgiving in 2000.

During his ministry at the church, Pastor Justis has conducted hundreds of funerals and several weddings and baptisms. He preceded Rev. Henry Miller Herman as the church’s longest-serving pastor, who served 20 years from 1861-1881.

A reception for Pastor Justis will follow Sunday worship on Dec. 5 at 11:30 a.m. in the church’s Parish Hall.
