thanks from the munsons!
To my wonderful Church Family,
My heart is full to overflowing with gratitude for all the love and support I have received after my mother’s recent passing. Thank you for the beautiful flowering plant sent from the Church. It’s lovely and brings comfort every day. The many cards, hugs, prayers, texts and calls have been overwhelming. Your care and concern is greatly appreciated. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.
My mom always loved visiting our church. She often remarked how blessed we were to be part of such a loving community of faith.
With love,
Julie Munson
PENTECOST SUNDAY – WEAR RED
Pentecost Sunday is this coming Sunday, May 28th! It is a worship celebration of the gift of the Holy Spirit and the liturgical color for Pentecost is RED!
As a way of collectively celebrating the ‘tongues of fire’ of the Holy Spirit, and the unity that is ours in Christ – even in our differences – you are invited to wear the color red to worship on Sunday;
Red pants, red shirts, red jackets, red shoes, or simply a red ribbon.
Join in the festive story of Pentecost.
The Spirit came in power and the church was born!
What is the Pastor-Staff Relations Committee?
The Pastor-Staff Relations Committee is a group of church members who function as a bridge between members of our staff and members of our congregation. Our purpose is to provide support, appreciation, and encouragement to every one of our staff members. Each committee member is the liaison to specific staff members and seeks to build trusting, collaborative relationships with them through regular contact to support and encourage them in their area of ministry.
If needed, the staff person has a PSRC member they already know and trust to discuss challenges in their work responsibilities, with another staff member, or with members of the congregation. The PSRC may also be asked to share suggestions or concerns brought by church members with individual staff members in a way that is constructive and collaborative. All matters are addressed promptly and confidentially.
The committee advises the Leadership Team on HR policies, maintains the Staff Handbook, and works with the Financial Management Team on employee benefits. The PSRC also invites church members to contribute to the Staff Appreciation Gift during the holidays and determines the distribution of the money collected.
The committee consists of Pastor Jeff Root as our Head of Staff, Church Vice Chair Will Casey, and three elected members: Paul Bischoff, Bunny Mirrilees, and Chair Jana Goetz.
