Lorinda Hoover, Pastor
Lorinda was appointed as pastor of Glidden UMC starting July 1, 2011.  In July of 2016, Glidden, Lanesboro, and Lohrville UMCs joined together to form what we United Methodists call a “three point charge,” and Lorinda was re-appointed to serve all three.  She has served churches in Lehigh, Otho, Grand Junction, and Pocahontas.  She currently lives in Rockwell City, where her husband Jim Mossman serves St. Paul Lutheran and First Presbyterian church.  Lorinda loves studying the Bible, alone and with others.  She enjoys developing and leading worship services.  She also loves to sit and chat about just about anything.  She has a wide range of interests, including scrapbooking, birdwatching, foreign languages, medicine, cooking, and Macintosh computers.   Lorinda has responsibility for preaching, worship, leading Confirmation and adult studies, and providing pastoral care to members, and administration..
