BOARD ANNOUNCEMENTS

Job Search Update for Congregation: 
Our job posting for a new minister was published on the United Church national website, ChurchHub, on Sept 2nd.  There are around 250 job postings for open positions across the country with only approximately 120 candidates looking for positions.  Please add our job search to your prayer list – that the right person will be looking for a job with a congregation like ours.  We have pulpit supply ministers arranged until Nov 30th and are working to fill the Sundays for December and January while we wait.

Sunday School and Youth Leader Position: 
M&P has been advertising for our open Sunday School position and to date no applications have been received.  If you know anyone who might be interested in this paid position to earn a little extra money while learning and gaining experience to add to their resume, please have them send their resume to Brenda Astle at brendaastle7@gmail.com .  We are looking to fill the position first and then will focus on getting the children to come.
