PASTORAL SABBATICALS
As our church family prepares for Pastor Scott’s upcoming sabbatical, we would like to help the church in understanding this process. The Personal Team, Finance Team, and Shepherding Team have been working to ensure that this is a positive experience for the congregation, staff, and Pastor.
What follows is a chronological listing of communication to the church as to the sabbatical process.
If you have questions, please ask anyone on the Shepherding Council and we will assist you.
Blessings,
Shepherding Council:
Natasha Barnett, Chair
Tim Layton, Jared Olive, Stacy Potts, Keith Robinson, Raymond Smith, Jean Warnberg
