New District Superintendents Chosen by Northern New York Methodists
The Northern New York Methodist Conference named two new district superintendents at the close of its 87th annual meeting. The Rev. Paul A. Roy of Utica was named Black River Ontario District superintendent, and the Rev. Don R. Boyd of Watertown was named Mohawk District superintendent. Roy, a Lisbon native with degrees from Houghton College and Seminary, has led Central Church in Utica for 11 years and has been active in youth work and conference committees. He oversaw a $140,000 sanctuary and education wing renovation and a $25,000 organ project. Additionally, Keith Kelts of Vernon and business and church leaders were honored as lay and parsonage family of the year, with Gary Camolli elected president of the conference youth council. Watertown’s Asbury Church will be served by Rev. Robert D. Jones, reassigned from Black River, while Rev. Allan T. Dodge remains in district leadership.
