As you have already heard, Coco Everett, our longtime communications coordinator and office manager, will be leaving the New Providence staff as of December 5th. While we will miss her terribly, we celebrate her new adventure: Coco will serve as the document manager for a Knoxville engineering firm. This is the field she prepared for in school. It's a significant salary increase, and even better, she gets to work from home! While this is our loss, it is a great opportunity for Coco that she feels God is calling her to, and she just can't say no.
In addition to her exemplary work on the NPPC staff, Coco has become a dear friend to many of us, and we wish her well. Gregg Randolph has been hired on a temporary basis (at least) and I hope you'll stop into the office to welcome him and answer some of his many questions!
Meanwhile, this transition opens up opportunities for us as a congregation. Because we were already short-handed in the office, this calls for "all hands on deck." There are a lot of things that have fallen to Coco over the years that can easily be handled by volunteers, from greeting office visitors, printing and folding bulletins, putting out the weekly prayer list, or driving bulk mailings to the post office. We also need volunteers with communications or IT know-how, and just friendly faces all around.
Is there some area that you might be willing to take on? If you are able to volunteer in any capacity, your time and skills will be greatly appreciated.
Please email
personnel@newprovidencepres.org
and let us know how you might be able to help, and any particular skills that you can offer. No offer is too insignificant.
Meanwhile, would you please do two things? First, be patient. We'll all be doing the best we can, and all the grace we can extend to one another will be necessary. Secondly, please pray: pray for your personnel committee as they begin the work ahead, and while you're praying, give thanks to God for Coco and her selfless service for all these years. We will miss her!
