Extra Notes:

 

-Director of Children’s Ministry:  Council and personnel put it back on Pastor’s to decide whether or not we might want different staffing.  After several discussions with Pastor John we decided that this position fills an important need at the church and is line with our core value of “nurturing the next generation”.  Personnel did not feel like we needed to initiate a new application process so that we could simply hire the interim.  The interim contract expired Dec. 31.  I have since met with the interim director and offered her the job.  She said yes and we are in the process of  finalizing the employment agreement. 

 

-Youth Internship:  Have met with Christina Laurie who is the potential intern.  Learned some of her background.  She grew up in Lutheran church in San Diego has some experience with VBS and a local church summer camp.  She needs 10 hours a week.  I mentioned the end of January as a start date.  Need to get CLU forms from her still as well as at least two references.

 

-E-Care visits:  In this day and age a lot of communication takes place over the internet.  I am going to try and add an “e-care” section to my “Visits” report as way of keeping track of this.
