MSC Update: August 21, 2020
This fall the Ministerial Search Committee will be reaching out to the congregation to gather your input regarding the skills, characteristics and experience needed in our next settled minister. Your participation is critical to a successful search. Below is a list of three different ways we’ll be obtaining feedback and the schedule for these events. Please complete the survey and plan to attend a Cottage Meeting. In addition, contact Susan Carlton, Chair of the search committee with any questions or feedback (susan.carlton@sbcglobal.net).
Congregational Survey – The survey will be distributed beginning Friday, August 28th and will be available in the UCE newsletter, on UCE social media and via a special email sent to members. Surveys should be returned no later than September 20th.
Cottage Meetings – Participants will be asked to share their thoughts about how they hope the congregation will live out our mission and the characteristics, skills and experience needed in the next settled minister to help us achieve our goals.
All meetings will be held via Zoom. Registration is required.
Focus Groups – These are discussions with specific groups or committees within the congregation (Ex. Social Justice Council). Participants will have an opportunity to provide input about their specific group and what involvement they would like from the next settled minister. Focus groups are currently being scheduled.
