Newsletter, February 18: Open Your Packet!
We are thrilled to report that we
have three outstanding semifinalists (“Pre-Candidates”) to be our next Settled
Minister. All three have indicated that they find our church as exceptional as
we find them. We’ve shared an entire weekend with one of the Pre-Candidates
(discussions, meals, tours of the church and of Worcester, and a full Sunday
service/sermon). We have two Pre-Candidating weekends still to go.
We recently released to you our Congregational Survey and our 17-page
job posting, the Congregational Record.
(Unfortunately, the link to the Record wasn’t working last week; it should be
fixed now.) This week, we are also releasing our limited-access web site, the Congregational Packet. Completed in
early January, the Packet is how we originally shared text, sound, and images
with our most promising ministerial applicants.
We designed the Congregational
Packet as a walking tour of our church. At each stop, parishioners introduce
what goes on there. We’ve included many profiles, documents, pictures, and
music. Additional links take the viewers into the wider community.
We’ve received very positive
feedback from the ministers who’ve viewed the Packet, and we encourage you to
take a look at it. It may tell you things about our church and our community
that you never knew!

Packet, click
