Thanks to Erlinde

One of the blessings this Church bestows is the opportunity to know and work with extraordinary people — one of them is Erlinde Beliveau. All of us know her smile and warm personality but I have been privileged for two years to experience the depth of her faith and commitment to this church and the Christian values it stands for. We all owe her a debt of gratitude for her leadership and devotion during these trying times and I personally am grateful for her sense of humor, friendship, and support. Erlinde, thank you — and I have several projects in mind for the immediate past president!

Going forward

Erlinde is a tough act to follow but we have a good team on Council (welcome Sue Kelsch and Scott Carson!). Many thanks for the work of the transition team and we look forward to the good work of the call committee. And to each member of this congregation — please take advantage of the blessing mentioned above. If you aren’t involved in some activity here, identify one that could use your talents and get involved.

We have a challenging year ahead and need all hands on deck.
