Mid-Year Meeting Recap & Ministerial Transition Resources - Unitarian Universalist Society of Mill Creek

Posted on January 30, 2023 Posted By: Office Administrator Categories: News

Dear Fellow Mill Creek Members and Friends,

We held our Mid-Year Congregational Meeting on Sunday January 29
th after the Worship Service. While we had a good turnout, we want to be sure everyone has an opportunity to learn what was shared and discussed.

The meeting was broken into three segments:
* Adam Kegley presented a financial review
* Diane Hofer shared a projects-completed recap and a review of the exciting projects that are in the works
* Steve Selph held a discussion regarding the ministerial transition process that we will be going through as we prepare to seek a new minister to replace Rev. Greg

A link to the recorded meeting can be found below; it is about an hour long. Anyone who was not able to attend the meeting is encouraged to view it. In addition, we are including a link to the UUA Transitional Ministry Handbook (also below), which is a comprehensive and all-encompassing guide (in PDF format) for ministerial transitions. Also included below is a link to the Ministerial Transitions section of the UUA website which provides even more resources and materials.

These are critical times for you to be engaged and informed. The financial and ministerial transition decisions that will be made in the coming weeks and months will have a major impact on the trajectory of the future of this congregation.

We need your involvement and good counsel to help us keep the church running smoothly during the transition and to help us make the right decisions necessary to put Mill Creek on the path to stability and long-term growth.

We ask that you invest an hour of your time to view the video, check out the additional resources, and stay informed as the situation develops. We also urge you to volunteer and to participate in the various committees that are needed to reenergize the Congregation.

The Board actively seeks your input, and we encourage you to reach out to us either individually or via the board@uusmc.org (mailto:board@uusmc.org) email address.

Blessings,
Mill Creek Board of Trustees
