Pastoral Relations Committee

Since St. John's is at a place of new beginnings, a new committee was just formed to keep the lines of healthy communication open.

 

The purpose of the Pastoral Relations Committee is to maintain and improve the relationship between the Pastor and the congregation, to enhance their mutual ministry, to resolve unfruitful conflicts, and to assist the Church in it's mission and ministry.

 

The Committee serves as a place for helpful and honest dialogue out of which new understanding may arise and new commitments to ministry may come about.

 

The Committee met recently, and updated the Pastor's job description.

 

The following people have agreed to serve, and are willing and open to hear your input.  Those now serving on the Pastoral Relations Committee are :  Judy Guise (Chair), Katie Yerger, Karen Bilger, Mary Gillen, and John Moyer.

 

Committee Update:

Our committee met with Pastor Linda on March 21, 2011, and reviewed a pastor checklist with her.  The committee seemed quite pleased with her performance to date and hopes that her pastorate will continue to receive commendations from the congregation.  This committee meets quarterly with Pastor Linda and if you have cheers or any suggestions please make them known to any member of the committee.  Those members are Karen Bilger, Mary Gillen, John Moyer, Katie Yerger or Judy Guise.
