I am excited to announce that, as of June 22, 2025, I will be serving as the Interim Pastor at West Newbury Congregational Church in West Newbury, MA, while they conduct a search for a new pastor. No, I am not leaving my position at Twins Smoke Shop and will continue to manage the Londonderry and Hooksett locations. This position is part-time. As I have said, the “Pastor” in “Pastor Padron” is legit, and my name is back on a church marquee. Well, not Pastor Padron, of course, but my own name.

I know the people there pretty well, as I have been a frequent guest in their pulpit over the last ten years. I am looking forward to it! I will be leading worship on Sunday mornings, working alongside their leadership team to help them in their pastoral search, and providing spiritual care and leadership to the congregation, walking with them as a spiritual father until my season with them ends.

So, to all you people out there who have wanted a heads-up when I am preaching in the area, you know where to find me. And don’t be surprised if you find some of what I will be sharing with them here with you.
