Adjusting
most part, it has been fine. The phones are getting answered and things have been organized. It did take us 20 minutes to figure out how to make one page of labels so there is a big learning curve ahead!
Next Steps
The plan moving forward for the next two-weeks is to have volunteers that are answering the phones and managing the office
when we are open (The office will be open, Monday – Friday, from 9am – 12pm). Silvia has graciously offered to continue to
work on the Worship Orders for Sundays until we find a more permanent solution so that is a big help. If any of you can help with some of the volunteering during the day let me know and we will see if there is a job that you can fulfill.
The Search
We also will begin a search for a replacement in the next two weeks. Currently, the Executive Committee of the church (this
consists of the chairs of each of the church’s 4 committees along with the Clerk of Session and the Pastor) is reviewing the job
description of the secretary and seeing how it should be changed or adjusted to meet our needs as a church. I suspect that we will make some changes to the job and to the scope of the position. You can be praying for this search because this person plays a key role in the life of our church. He or she is more than just an administrator and secretary. They also are the first face of the church that many people meet, so finding the right person is important.
Know that I am praying for all of you and for our church. I will see you on Sunday!
