NEWS from the PASTORAL SEARCH COMMITTEE

HAVE YOU TAKEN SURVEY #2?
As of this writing, 66 of us have! This is a great response and we are grateful - but we are not done yet. There is still time - Survey #2 will be available through this coming Sunday, April 7th. You can take the survey here. It is important that we hear from each of you!
What does MCC NOVA mean to you?
That is the question we want to answer in our new video. The PSC is making a video to share with potential candidates that describes what MCC NOVA means to each of us. If you would like to participate, please let a member of the Pastoral Search Committee know. Frank Vance will be taking videos throughout the month of April for inclusion in this project. So now is your time to speak out!
Thank you for your continued prayers - we are so grateful for your love and support during this process.
Your Pastoral Search Committee,
Jeanne Bailey, Chair
