Rev Linda Kozlowski

 

He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Gospel of Matthew 22:37-40

Rev. Linda Kozlowski began serving as the Pastor of Good Shepherd United Church of Christ on November 18, 2019. She is a 2007 graduate of Reading Area Community College with an Associate Degree in Sociology and a 2014 graduate of Lancaster Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree. Prior to hearing God call her to congregational ministry, Pastor Linda was employed for 20 + years as an Administrative Assistant for an investment firm in Wyomissing. She is a life-long resident of Berks County, a graduate of Governor Mifflin High School and the mother of one son, Kevin, who currently resides in Jersey City, NJ.

Pastor Linda lives in the Wyomissing area with her kitties, Malachi Jack and Lola Grace. Her interests include reading, spirituality, writing, spending times with friends, engaging in theological conversations, and listening to people’s stories. Pastor Linda’s image of God is love—unconditional love, which is freely given, which is always present, which is steadfast and true. She invites you to visit Good Shepherd UCC for worship, for fellowship, and for conversation. As she offers every time we gather for worship: no matter where you are on life’s journey, you are welcomed, you are wanted, you are loved by this Faith Community.

Pastor Linda offers drive-thru-prayer most 1st and 3rd Wednesdays from 1:30 – 3:30 pm,  Open Sanctuary most 2nd and 4th Wednesdays from 5  – 7 pm, and Circle Sharing time Tuesdays at 10:30. Pastor Linda is available to meet in person or via Zoom. Call or text her (484-529-2241 cell), or send her an e-mail (pastorlindakoz@gmail.com). She seeks to know you, to hear your story, to walk beside you as we journey through life doing the best we can to point the way to our living, loving God.
