Office Staff Transition…..
Welcome College Interns
As you are aware, with Mary Wetteraurer's recent retirement our church office is in transition. So in this transition, we welcome college interns this summer who are working along with Joan Bash, our Wednesday receptionist, to provide service to this congregation and community. Welcome Ashley Gabel, Monica Hadley, Tennah Senessie and Jenny Wheat. These young women are learning much and we all appreciate the patience extended to them and all the staff during this transitional time. Please stop in and say hello to them. The Staff Parish Relations Committee and lead pastor are in the process of designing a position statement and will be posting that soon. Our hope is to hire someone to be present in the office on a more regular basis by mid-September.
