********
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.
Baptism will be offered on September 18th – Anyone
wishing to be Baptized is asked to speak to Nan by August 21st.
