As you may already know, our founding pastor resigned this spring. His last Sunday working at Grace Community was March 27. We’ve been working with a consultant to help us find the right pastor to lead Grace forward in the years to come so that many more people in our community will be able to find and experience God. If you know of someone who might be a good candidate, or if you’re just curious, here’s a link to the position description and application process for this new pastor:

We appreciate your prayers and encouragement for Grace Community during this time of transition.

Two key announcements were made by the Grace Community Board yesterday morning at our Sunday service. We want to make sure everyone at Grace is aware of both of these updates. This post details this information in 3 parts:

1. Interim Plan for Family Ministry
2. Announcement from Dave
3. Comments from Board

While this posting details what was communicated yesterday, we have also published an audio recording of yesterday’s update from the board:

Grace Board Meeting Highlights

September 19, 2006

The Grace Community Board includes Becky McNaught, Bill Glick, Judy Dalton and Dave Hensleigh.  Everyone was present and we had an energizing discussion about several topics:

-         KidStuf was excellent and looks to provide both support for Grace families and a wide open door to the community.  It cost us a lot to develop this and lots of people are involved.  The investment seems well worth it.

-         The “Small Group Strategy” and Dave’s recent messages were discussed.  We affirmed that we want to see this develop.

-         The Arts at Grace was discussed.  We have gotten overtures from Bright Lights Theater Company regarding use of our facilities and collaboration.  We wholeheartedly affirmed our interest in being a church that is a home for the arts in our community.

-         Dave gave an update on the development of a membership system.

-         We discussed our next meeting, agenda building and working over suggestions and ideas from Dave’s annual review.

-         Dave also reported that there is a developing financial problem

The next board meeting will be Tuesday, October 17, 6-8pm.
