Staff transitions

  • Our beloved Director of Christian Formation, Donna Chase, will retire at the end of April 2025. We will find
    many ways to say thank you and celebrate her in the days ahead. While we can never replace Donna, we will seek
    to discover the person God is calling to lead us next in this critical ministry. We will be looking for an associate pastor for Christian formation. The Nominating Committee is putting together the slate for an Associate Pastor Nominating Committee. At that point the Session will call a congregational meeting to elect the APNC and it will begin the search
    process. It will be exciting to welcome another called and installed pastor to our staff, leading our Christian formation ministry, offering pastoral care, teaching and participating in worship leadership. Please be in prayer for Donna, those who will serve on the APNC, and the person God is calling to this work.
  • Our parish nurse, Karen Amirehsani, will be leaving us as of November 28 in order to spend more time with her family. Karen has done an outstanding job and we will miss her greatly! 

 

Names needed

The Appointments Committee needs your help. Who would you like to see on your next church officer Nominating Committee? Nominating creates the slate of elders you elect each spring to help govern our church. You have the opportunity to elect eight members of Nominating (another seven are selected by our governing Session). The committee should reflect our congregation’s gender, age and experience. Send suggestions here by December 20.
