Second Minister Search Committee

Update November 18, 2008

We are now receiving applications from ministers who are interested in being our new Second Minister. We are in the final stages of preparing a packet about our Church to exchange with the applicants. We anticipate we will exchange the packets in early December and telephone interviews with the individual applicants will take place soon thereafter.

Update November 17, 2008

We have filed the Congregational Record online with the UUA and we are currently receiving applications from ministers who are interested in our Second Minister position.  In December 2008 we will be exchanging packets with the ministers and performing telephone interviews to become more familiar with the applicants.  Please click the following links to view:

Update July 13, 2008

Our committee has been meeting weekly since we were charged with the exciting and challenging task of finding a second minister for our church. We have established a private committee website and email list, have set our operational rules, elected officers, and are creating our subcommittees. We have already met with church and UUA staff and with the members of the prior Senior Minister Search Committee. We are now focusing on the best ways to communicate with all of you. In a couple of weeks, you will be receiving a new survey asking for your input and ideas for this new position.

On the last two Sundays in July, the 20th and the 27th, we will be available for questions and comments in Channing Hall between services and after the second service. Your input is crucial for the success of the church! You are also welcome to contact us individually.

Our Co-chairs are Judy Hembree and John Daniel, Secretary Julie Doucet, UUA liaison Kathy Calhoun, Communications coordinator, Peter Poulides, and members Patty Lane, Lee Latham, Kevin McClendon and Michael Scholten. We look forward
to hearing from you!
