A packet has been mailed to every member of Thomas Paine Unitarian Universalist Fellowship and should be arriving in mailboxes over the next few days. The contents of that mailing are available through links at the end of this post.
The envelope contains a comprehensive set of information regarding the ministerial candidacy of the Rev. Jennie Barrington, including: a letter from the board; one from the Settled Ministry Search Committee; a schedule of Rev. Barrington’s candidating week; an an introductory letter from Rev. Barrington.
The two things you absolutely need to know for your schedule:
- Rev. Barrington will visit to candidate for our settled ministry position from April 26 to May 4. She will preach both Sundays (April 27, May 4) and attend a great number of community events all week long.
- A congregational meeting will be held after service on Sunday, May 4, to decide on whether to offer the fulltime settled ministry position to Rev. Barrington.
An informed decision is very, very important, and you are encouraged to make the time to attend an event (or more than one) and meet Rev. Barrington.
Friends as well as members are invited to take part in the week’s schedule. The one exception: only members who have been on the rolls for 60 days can vote at the May 4 congregational meeting.
