Church Leadership Opportunities for 2010

The Annual Meeting in January 2010 is not that far away! It's time to start reflecting again on the role you'd like to play in the church in the new year. Some leadership positions open every year, while others are filled by members who were elected to 3-year terms at prior annual meetings. This year, we will need new members for:

The Lay Leadership Council:
Two new members are added to the Lay Leadership Council every year, each filling a 3-year post, so there are always 6 active members. This creative group works to maximize the role of our church community by identifying and facilitating programs that meet congregational needs and interests in a broad range of areas, like education, social interaction, community involvement and outreach. The Council also helps members match varied skills, interests, and passions with other members and resources needed to build an ever more vibrant and fulfilling spiritual community. Ellen O'Neall Waite is the 2009 chair, and can tell you more. If you are interested, please let a member of the Nominating Committee know (Priscilla Arbuckle, Kate O'Dell, Karen Reilly, or Sue Stafford).

The Nominating Committee:
While Nominating Committee members are always on the look-out for new and long-term members who show an interest in a deeper commitment to the work of the church, the real work of this committee takes place in the late fall, preparing a slate of candidates for the January Annual Meeting. It's a great committee for members who want learn the interests and skills of new and long-term members, and better understand the organization of the church. For 2010, the Nominating Committee is seeking 3 new members--each for a 3-year term--for a total of 5 members. These nominees are selected by the Prudential Committee; if you are interested, please talk to Liz Gustafson (moderator) or David Spanagel (Vice Moderator).
