The Search Committee is working on its self-study and parish profile. Here is a report on their work.
The Search Committee is meeting weekly and is reviewing our past two parish profiles and several other parish profiles to analyze the pros and cons of the available data for content and layout. The goal is to draft our Good Shepherd Profile by Jan. 10 with the document completed by Feb. 1.
Data needed for the profile will come from the survey to be conducted this month of December utilizing an online survey and also surveying small groups of church members.
Concerns raised: that we do not have a clear vision, that our mission statement needs to be a phrase or short sentence rather than listing our values.
Some members reviewed the Good Shepherd web page and forwarded recommendations to Jean Norman, the site administrator. All remaining comments should be sent to her by mid-January.
We need a physical cleanup of the church between January and February in anticipation of potential clergy interview visits. We hope to have someone on contract by May.
The Search Committee can take any congregant’s recommendation for a new priest. However, we cannot answer questions about the search process. The Vestry will be glad to update the congregation on our progress.
