Like with so much else in all our lives, Pastor Dave’s summer plans which included leading the Cross of Christ Tanzania Mission 2020 team to Africa and some connected vacation time had to be shelved. Pastor Dave has ably lead Cross of Christ thus far in our pandemic response – which required his full attention and also made taking any time off unreasonable to this point.
Now, however, Council is confident that plans and procedures are in place that will allow Pastor Dave to take some vacation time following Christmas. Pastor Dave is now out of the office until January 19. Upon his return in late January, he will be off-site for continuing education, returning to the office the week of January 25.
Plans have been made for recorded worship services during this time, and Associate Pastor for Caring Ministries Judy Brennan will be available to respond to pastoral emergencies in COVID-19 responsible ways. For non-pastoral office-related issues, contact Office Administrator Judy Giseburt. For all other issues, contact Congregational President Colin Walker.
Thank you, Pastor Dave, and blessings for a time of rest and restoration.
