Rev. Dr. Sallie Watson Retires and Christmas Greetings

Palo Duro Presbytery wants to mark the retirement of our colleague in the ministry, The Reverend Dr. Sallie Watson, who serves Mission Presbytery as the General Presbyter. She is so accomplished, but we are most proud of her seminary internship in Palo Duro with Union Presbyterian Church in Brownwood from 1985 to 1986. She was mentored by The Reverend Dr. Henry Chisolm (1929-2022) who, along with the congregation, treated her like an Associate. Henry sent her on pastoral tasks that required “heavy lifting.” It informed her ministry ever since.  Well, her last week on the job is this week. She is loved dearly by us and the PC(USA). Below is a letter from the Session she served long ago.
