The Church Council in November made a recommendation to the Lay Leadership Committee that is charged with the task of resourcing all of the ministries of the church, both old and new. Many transitions occur in January of each year, with some folks coming off of committees and going on new committees and teams. This is always an exciting time, but can also be a bit unsettling, especially for committees facing a large turnover.
It has been helpful when the pastor can be present during this time. However, since this transition time will occur at the beginning of our expected paternity/maternity leave this year, I want to request on behalf of Lay Leadership that new folks begin as planned in January, but that others, as they are able, willing and called, to please continue work on their current committee in January and February. The committees understand if this is not feasible so want to emphasize that there is no pressure, just a friendly request for consideration and prayer.
Thank you from the Lay Leadership Committee,
Gwyneth Arrison, Co-Chair
