1. Concluding a Ministry Well
Reverend Connie Grant has been with us as an interim minister since 2019. We always knew she would be leaving us so this step has been in the works from day one. We appreciate her service during this interim time, especially navigating us through a pandemic! We truly appreciate her expertise and partnership in this ministerial search.
2. Education & Preparation for Search
We were quite busy during the month of June! We joined a workshop on June 13th that included the UUA Transitions Office and affiliated colleagues for a virtual presentation of the principles and practices of a well-executed ministerial search. The following weekend on the 19th and 20th we met with Kathy Kerns, our UUA Regional Transitions Coach, in a Ministerial Search Committee Zoom meeting.
We have decided as a team to meet weekly to make sure all the details of the search are in place and moving forward. We will keep you updated on the progress of the search for a settled minister. It is an exciting time of change in our church. The entire congregation will play a part in selecting our next minister!
