At last week's Executive Mission Team, authorization was given for the hiring of a part-time, office support person. Although this will not replace the position recently vacated by Bonnie, we are in need of coverage and administrative assistance. This person will answer phones, serve as a receptionist during regular office hours Monday-Thursday, prepare bulletins and parish publications, maintain the website, and help out with other needed support tasks. A complete job description will be coming out in early July and we will seek to hire as soon as we can fill the position with a qualified candidate.

If anyone knows of someone who might be interested, please have them submit a resume to me as soon as possible. I am looking forward to conducting interviews during the week of July 9.

We are in the process of evaluating staffing needs in consultation with the Executive Mission Team, Pastoral Support Team, and the Council. This work will happen throughout the summer months. It is my hope that we will have a new configuration in place by September.

As with all matters involving our life together as a community of faith and struggle, I look forward to receiving feedback and input. Be sure to let me know what is on your mind. I will return from two weeks of vacation on July 2.

In Christ,

Pastor Walt
