• Church Leadership Positions Need to be Filled for 2019

  This year we need volunteers to fill three important positions within our church. They are: SPRC Chairperson, currently Lynn Shipe, Operations Chairperson, currently Walt Mathias, and Leadership Team Chairperson, currently Sarah Mathias. According to the Book of Discipline, the rules of our denomination, the SPRC Chair and Operations Chair may only serve three years. I have served as Leadership Team Chair for four years and it’s time for a change. This provides a break for the person retiring and a new view of church business from the person taking on this new role. In the past, this church has followed the strategy of moving leaders from one position to the other - Leadership Chair to SPRC Chair or Operations Chair to Leadership Chair. Please know that Lynn, Walt and I ARE NOT going to switch positions; and will be taking a year off from administrative duties.

  SPRC (or Staff Parish Relations Committee) Chairperson has the most job restrictions. The person must have served on SPRC currently or previously and must be a member of the church. SPRC works with all church employees to make sure their jobs go smoothly and work gets done. There is a committee of people that meets perhaps 9 times per year and the Chair also attends Leadership to report on SPRC meetings, keeping confidentiality in mind.

  Operations Chairperson keeps track of church finances and the care and repair of the church building and parsonage. No, this person need not be handy or a CPA! He or she does need to ask questions about needs and progress and ask for volunteers. The Committee meets perhaps 7 times per year and the Chair also attends Leadership to report. Walt spends about 5 hours per month on this function.

  Leadership Chairperson meets with leaders from each church committee: worship, Operations, Education, SPRC, Lay Leader to Annual Conference, and the Pastor to do the work of the church. We hear and respond to reports, concerns, needs and celebrations in the various aspects of the church. The group meets 10 times each year and the meetings are less than 2 hours long. I spend about 5 hours each month on this function.

  Ideally, new volunteers would be able to attend meetings and learn procedures starting in November. Pastor Mary is generous with her time and talent to help people with details and responsibilities of the job. Obviously, Lynn, Walt and I would be available to answer questions. Please prayerfully and thoughtfully consider volunteering for these positions. We will not continue in our current roles and so others need to step forward to help the church run smoothly and continue its work in the world. Speak with one of us, Lynn, Walt or myself or Pastor Mary to learn more and volunteer.
• Nursery Substitutes Needed!

  Staff Parish Relations Committee has determined that there is a need to develop a small pool of substitutes for Nursery Care during Sunday Worship. If you are interested in serving in this way, Safe Sanctuary training and a Background Check would be required. Please express your interest to Pastor Mary, Lynn Shipe, Chair or Nancy Winans, Liaison to Nursery.
• Tile Order Forms for the Disability Lift & Entrance Fund Raiser

  Tile Wall Fundraiser for the Lift Project

  We will be selling tiles to install on the wall of the new lift area as our first fundraiser to repay the money borrowed to make this project a reality. We will be selling tiles thru the early summer and then plan a day to paint/decorate them in late summer/early fall.

  The tiles can be sold to anyone – family, friends, people in

  the community – please help us spread the word about this amazing fundraiser. For those of you that would like to participate but do not feel you want to decorate a tile – we

  will have people on hand to create your tile for you.

  Imagine how beautiful our new lift area will look once we fill

  the walls with sayings, artwork, and designs from people that have helped make this dream a reality.
