Interim Process and Preparation for the Pastoral Search:
All-Church Discussions Coming Up

An interim period is a chance for a congregation to reflect on its history, identity, sense of mission/purpose and hopes for new leadership, in preparation for the search for a new senior pastor.    In the next few months, we will be having three all-church discussions as an important foundation in this process.  Each will take place after worship on a Sunday, over a simple lunch.  There will be a general topic for each, and the discussion will be prompted and facilitated by Rev. Brenda.  The more participation we have, the more effective this work will be -- all voices needed!!   A search committee will soon be named and will begin its important work on behalf of this congregation.  This is one of the best opportunities each member will have to add thoughts and perspectives to the discussion, as Spring Glen Church moves forward.

The all-church gatherings will be held as follows.   Programs are being planned for children during the meeting times, to help make it possible for parents to attend.

Sun., Mar. 7, 11:30 – 1:00    
What is our story and how do we feel about it?

Sun., Mar. 21, 11:30 – 1:00    
What is our sense of future?   Our hopes & dreams for what comes next?

Sun., Apr.25,  11:30 – 1:00
What kind of leadership do we need to be with us in that future?

Watch for more information to follow about sign-ups, lunch arrangements, etc.  
Please plan to be with us for these important discussions.
