Program : Induction of Park Ridge Rotary club new Member Induction –Pastor Marc
On April 8, 2021 at a virtual meeting via Zoom, Park Ridge Rotary members welcomed District Governor Carl Hassett and celebrated the installation of new member, Pastor Marc Stutzel.. Steve Hopper introduced the District Governor who officiated at the installation along with his sponsor, Terry Ciulla. Pastor Marc began his career, not as a pastor but as a web designer. When he lost his job during the great recession he became more involved in the church and community service, which led to his becoming a pastor. In addition to being Pastor of the Christ Lutheran Church in Woodcliff Lake for the past 6 years Marc is married, wife Kate & 3 young children. He has been associated with the Triboro food pantry as supporter & as their Board treasurer Pastor Marc holds the Chair of the Upper Council Interfaith Clergy Counsel and is a Cluster counselor of the Bergen-Passaic Conference of the New Jersey Synod.
Pastor Marc was thrilled to become a member of our club as we are such a wonderful group of people that are
truly an extended family. As a Pastor he also ias a man of Faith his Mantra same as in the Rotary 4-Way-Test Service above self.
In addition to his role of officiating at Pastor Marc’s installation, DG Carl Hassett also commented on the great job our Club is doing and staying together and continuing service during the pandemic.
