Transitions Can Be Difficult…

Which is why, in addition to having Reverend Greg to lead us through our interim period, there is also a Transition Team made up of five representatives from UCE’s congregation. The members of the Transition Team are Lee Bannor, David Bates-Jeffries, Judy Holman, Chris Yoo, and one more soon-to-be-named member (who will take over for Alice Swan, who has stepped down from the Transition Team to join the Ministerial Search Committee). The Transition Team’s main jobs are to serve as a conduit between members and Reverend Greg, and to help with interim-related activities. Interim activities, such as the UCE scrapbook (which can be found on bulletin boards in the lower level until mid-April) help us examine our history as a congregation and identify areas and values that we want to celebrate or that need healing as we move forward into the next stage of our history.

The Transition Team meets regularly with Reverend Greg and members are available to hear your thoughts and ideas. We will have a dedicated table at the back of the sanctuary during coffee hour once or twice a month, and are always available to be contacted individually. Please let us know if you have any thoughts about the transition—we want to help get your concerns addressed, but we also love positive feedback!
