********

Scheduled meeting of Ministry and Personnel Committee: September 17th at 10:00 a.m.

In the United Church, we describe ourselves as “being in ministry together,” recognizing that the work of paid ministry personnel is only part of the ministry that takes place in the pastoral charge. The M&P Committee oversees relationships within the pastoral charge ministry, particularly the roles and functions of paid leaders and employees (such as the office secretary and any custodial staff). The M&P Committee has a dual role: it is consultative and supportive.

One of the duties of the Ministry and Personnel Committee is to support communication between the congregation and ministry personnel and staff. If you have concerns or affirmations for ministry personnel and staff, you are encouraged first to convey those directly to them. You may also wish to make the M & P Committee aware of celebrations or concerns and they are glad to receive these in written form. Members of your Ministry and Personnel Committee are Valli Ross, Vida Hood, Marlene Morrison, John MacLeod Langley, Susan Langley, Maxine Smith.
