To that end, let us enter into that process together, as a congregation. You may submit nominations for the permanent call search committee in writing to the Council moderator, Tracy Fossum. Anyone you nominate (and it doesn’t have to be you personally) must be a full or associate member of the congregation. Please include the nominee’s name and a 3-5 sentence explanation of what that person would bring to the search. You may also offer suggestions as to what general qualities the Council/nominations committee should be seeking when composing the call committee. Send your nominations to tracy.fossum@gmail.com or leave your completed pink nomination form (located in the Fellowship Hall on the search bulletin board) in the moderator box in the office. The deadline is August 1. Serving on the committee is a big job, so as you put yourself up for nomination, prayerfully consider that, if asked, you would be fully prepared to answer the call to serve.
