[Lekooks] Board Listening Sessions

[Megan Fedders]

Hi Everyone,

In light of Amy’s announcement and Doug & Nancy’s decision to retire, we are entering into a time of transition. While that can bring anxiety, it is also a time to explore opportunities and priorities. We have a number of choices to make in terms of how we staff these crucial roles for the short and long term. Due to the need for some quick decision-making (budgeting and the closing of the traditional ministerial search period), we would like to get some input from the congregation and staff quickly.

We will be hosting some structured listening sessions at which several board members will be present to hear input, thoughts, concerns, etc around our plans to keep the ministries of our church moving forward. 

We will try to get an official email out tomorrow on the church mailing list, but I wanted to at least let folks in this forum know that we will be hosting the first of these sessions tomorrow. All sessions will be at the church - rooms TBD.

The dates that we have planned so far include: 

Tuesday, April 9 - 7:00 - 8:00 pm
Saturday, April 13 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Sunday April 14 - After service
Tuesday, April 16 - 6:00 pm - 7:00 pm (before the board meeting)

In addition, the board meeting is open for staff and members to attend as well. We occasionally go into closed session to discuss sensitive budget or staffing matters, but generally welcome participation.

Thank you in advance for your participation in the coming months as we explore the opportunities that a transition affords and plan for a smooth continuation of our experience as a congregation.

Please feel free to reach out to me, Paul Fackler or any of the other board members which questions or concerns about our next steps.

Regards,

Megan Fedders, VP LCUUC Board of Trustees
