The North Gold Circuit United Methodist Church (Downieville, North San Juan and Sierra City Congregations) announce that a new pastor has been appointed to the circuit. Reverend Norma Jean Powell and her husband, Bill come to us from Aldersgate United Methodist Church in San Rafael. Reverend Powell has also served in Chester, California and Anderson, California.
