Seeking interim Ministry Coordinator: The personnel committee is asking the congregation to consider the names of anyone who may be a good fit to fill in for a 4 month time frame (mid March to mid July) at approx. 10 hrs per week to lead and organize the music worship portion of these services. This is a compensated position. Playing the piano, or a lead instrument, plus practising with the song leaders prior to each service will be required. After this 4 month initial time frame council, and the Pastor, will decide how to best move forward with a permanent filling of the Ministry Coordinator role, and how it will evolve. We will be taking applications until the position is filled and ask that credentials be submitted to church office. If you, or someone you feel would be a good fit for this, would like to hear more contact a member of the personnel committee (Kevin K, Doug J, Yvonne M, Wayne D) or inquire at the church office for details.
