Call Committee: We received a list of 8 candidates from the SED. Pastor Lineberger has contacted all of them. Two have asked to be removed from the list and two are currently being interviewed by other congregations. This leaves us with four to six potential candidates.
The Call Committee met on January 31 to begin reviewing the profiles of each pastor and preparing interview questions. Because of confidentiality, the candidate’s profiles will not be posted on the website, but are in the green binder on the table in the narthex. Feel free to read through the profiles at church and make notes.
We will be using a small subset of suggested interview questions that were provided in the Call Manual (also on the table in the narthex.) Your input on additional questions to ask or topics to cover in the initial interviews is encouraged. Suggestions can be given to any council member or emailed to Karla (kmkbyrnes@gmail.com) no later than this Sunday, February 5, at noon. Check our website or for other information.
