| Committees and Chairpeople
Many people are needed
to make our church the vibrant place we love.
Volunteering for a committee is both personally rewarding
and important to making our church function.
Many committees meet once a month; others meet on an "as needed" basis.
You are invited to please contact committees of interest to you.

| Transition Team
As the church begins the very important work of examining ourselves
and working on objectives during our interim period,
a Transition Team is being formed to work closely
with Tracey, our interim minister,
in guiding the process.
The Transition Team and the interim minister will help the congregation
focus on the important work to be done during this time.
The Transition Team also will fulfill the role of the Committee on Ministry,
which is inactivated for the duration of the
church’s interim period.
This includes serving as a conduit for information and feedback
concerning the effectiveness of ministry
in our church
and serving as a sounding board and support resource for the minister.
If you are interested in serving on the Transition Team,
please convey your interest to Bob Waterman
or to the Parish Clerk, Dave Trzeciak.
Please note: The Transition Team is not responsible for
searching for a settled minister.
A separate task force has been formed to do that work. Please see "Ministerial Search Committee".
