Dear EPA Clergy Colleagues in Christ,

I have always experienced making appointments as a sacred act filled with prayer, listening, conversation and discernment. As we prepare to make appointments to congregations, I want to share with you the process we will be using and provide opportunity for you to ask questions. During the session, I will share with you the following:

  1. Clergy engagement and participation in the process.
  2. What information we consider.
  3. The process used to identify clergy for congregations.
  4. How appointments will be communicated.
 
Your commitment to serve and be itinerant is a testimony of your faithfulness and commitment to Christ and the Church.

A Zoom meeting will be held on Monday, January 24, 2022 at 8:30 a.m. The zoom link is https://epaumc.zoom.us/j/85757843505?pwd=aUdPcm9GZ0Z4UHN0RHJsSklqVDJWZz09. The meeting is only for EPA clergy. I will also be communicating with Staff Parish Relations Committees at another time.

I look forward to being in conversation with you.
Keep the faith!

John
