Session News

1) After the nomination process for the vacancies on the Pastoral Care Team , Session approved the 3 nominations it received and made its own appointment to fill the forth position. The appointees are Emily Graham, Nola Hawkes, Andrew Sprague and Melody Telley. The two year term officially starts May 1. We thank each of them for their willingness to serve in this way.
2) The Session has set June 22 as a ministry and vision planning day which will set the foundation for a congregational wide opportunity to participate in thinking about where we are going as a congregation. This will take place during the second half of the year. It has been eight years since we last engaged in this process.

3) Organic Outreach for churches conference  – April 13-14. Don and Ian Courts are planning to attend and would welcome anyone else from the congregation joining us for this two day event. Costs will be covered by our Training budget. This conference links in with plans for EPC ministry review and planning for 2019.
