SFV Master Chorale Presents Messiah 101

Dear members of the Emmanuel and Laurel Hall Community, This is the second in a continuing series of articles regarding the progress of our Call Committee. In a series of meetings which we called “Cottage Meetings” about a year ago, the congregation informed us about their requests for a new pastor. Here is a consolidated list in no particular order: • Administration: Supervise senior and church staff promoting morale and development. • Building a Sense of Community: Help Emmanuel and Laurel Hall grow closer together. • Pastoral Care and Visitation: Get to know members of the congregation including the homebound • Youth and Family Ministry: Develop a relationship with the Laurel Hall School children and families. • Worship: Provide inspirational preaching (Sunday services, school chapels and additional life activities) and worship planning (with the Minister of Music). • Arts: Support drama, music and the arts in our unique entertainment based community • Development: Lead our community in developing a strategic mission plan and assist in its implementation. In addition… • Help people develop their spiritual life • Build a sense of community among the people with whom he/she works • Be an effective communicator • Bring joy and good humor to relationships • Be creative and innovative about his or her tasks In my next article I will share with you more information from the MSP (Ministry Site Profile). Please keep us in your prayers as we begin our interview process.
