An open house will be held from 6:30 until 8 p.m. on Friday and from Lindsey 9 until 11 a.m. on Saturday at the recently renovated former manse on Clay Street. Members and friends will bring such household-starters as a pound of flour, a pound of bacon and other products with the word "pound" interpreted loosely in favor of a standard unit of appropriate contributions for the family.
Visitors will meet Lindsey, 33; his wife, Peggy, who is also an ordained Presbyterian minister; and their three children, Caroline, David and Julia. They arrived this week from Houston, where he was pastor of St. Stephens Presbyterian Church the past six years.
Peggy Lindsey, ordained the same time as her husband, has served in the hospital chaplaincy field but is not now in active ministry.
Myron Lindsey holds a bachelor's degree from Vanderbilt University and a master of divinity degree from Yale University. He began his ministry at First Presbyterian Church in Monroe, La., where he was associate pastor. While at Yale, he was a seminary assistant at a Waterford, Conn., church.
Lindsey officially begins his Salem pastorate Mondayand will be in the pulpit July 17. His formal installation, by representatives of the Presbytery of the Peaks, will take place at the 10 a.m. worship service on July 31. A church-wide picnic on the lawn will follow.
The Lindseys' temporary Clay Street residence recently was designated as the "Marshall House" and eventually will be used for other church functions. Its renovation was funded by Mr. and Mrs. Cabell Brand as a memorial to their son, Marshall Brand.
