Nominating Committee News

It is the time of year to choose leaders for positions in the church.  The nominating committee, (Scott Hayman, Carrie West, Jen Reidy, and Liz Gustavson and one person to be named) have been meeting to discern candidates.  In addition to our consideration of people we know, we are open to ideas and suggestions from everyone in the congregation.  If you--or your friend--who are members of the church would like to be considered for a position, we would love to hear from you!  Email Liz at gustavsonliz@hotmail.com or put a name into the  green-covered box labeled Nominating Suggestions in the dining room.

These are the positions that need to be filled during a vote at our Annual Meeting, the last Sunday in January:

Vice Moderator (two year term, followed by two years as Moderator)
Stewardship ( two positions) (one is for a two year term, one is for a three year term)
Trustee of Parish funds ( (three year term)
 Lay Leadership Program Council (two positions) (three years)
 Caring Circle co-chair (two years)

We are looking for experienced members of the church as well as new members to bring a balance of ideas to the committees.  Many of the positions are for a three year term; hold in mind that we try to support people in new jobs with the idea of enter, mentor, then retire, so no one person is "stuck" forever in a position.

We will be talking to a number of you soon.  Please consider what the church and its missions mean to you and say "Yes!"
