Ministerial Search Committee Update, November 2010
Our tasks of editing and rewriting are at an end. Our beautiful booklet, Our Flaming Chalice, is at the printers. The updated and amended Congregational Record is being reviewed and readied for final draft. We are gathering the last bits of materials, staff bios, board bios, church history, sample sermons, etc., for our thumb drive information packets which we are jovially calling our “fire sticks.” Soon, by the time this monthly bulletin is printed and distributed, we will have put the bait in the water. By this, I mean, sent all of our info out into the cyber-pool of ministerial candidates and soon we will see who we attract. The beginnings of this process seemed so introverted and subjective. Now it is beginning to have the feel of the great ‘unknown.’ We have met with the Board, the Finance Committee, and our Interim Minister to finalize details for this search. We have met with each other every week since we began the process. We are excited and eager for the next phase.
