Pastor Nominating Committee (PNC) Update
Dear Congregation,
After further consideration Valarie Campbell has decided that serving on the PNC is not appropriate for her at this time. I am sure you can relate to a commitment you made that for one reason or another need to be adjusted. The Nominating Committee respects and fully supports this difficult and mature decision by Valarie.
As such the Nominating Committee has found an equally outstanding new youth representative for the PNC. Emma Anderson, has agreed to serve on the PNC, assuming the congregation says yes (please do!) at the January 27 congregation meeting. Included below is her biography.
Peace,
The 2018 Nominating Committee
Scott Peoples, Tim Farless, Betty Hart, John Hansen, Valarie Short, Valarie Campbell and Teresa Amentt-Jennings

Emma Anderson
My family moved to Cary in 2007 and in the following year joined CPC. Since then I have been involved in youth group starting as a Christian Adventurers and now in the Seniors High Youth.
I was confirmed at CPC when I was in 8th grade. I have then served on the Youth Pastor search committee, and love being involved in all things CPC youth.
This past year I was accepted onto the New Hope Presbytery Youth Council and work on planning middle and high school youth retreats throughout the year for youth in this presbytery.
I live here in Cary and my parents are Craig and Terry Anderson, my younger sister is Kathryn Anderson. This year I am a junior at Green Hope High School
