The Call Committee met this past week (Jan. 31) with Pastor Nancy
Nelson from the Synod staff to discuss the process under which we
will operate over the coming months. It was a productive and
informative meeting.
And now our work begins.
The committee’s goal is to create an environment of
collaboration, an environment of imagination, an environment of
respect for ideas with all of the members of the congregation. We
will be talking with as many members as possible, individually
and in small and large gatherings, with the newest members to the
longest in tenure, and with every age group. Your thoughts, your
suggestions, your hopes and dreams for St. John’s future are
needed and we want you to share them with us.
We will keep you informed as much as possible through St. John’s
website and The Spokesman and with occasional temple talks.
Our hope and our prayer is that through this process, we, all of
us, will embrace the changes that are needed to strengthen the
foundation that has been built here so that we can continue to
grow as a vibrant urban church.
