Pastor Update
The weekend of Sept 9–10 will be an important weekend for Grace Commons. On Sept 9 from 3-5pm, stop by Grace Commons to meet Anthony Ceder and his wife, Jennifer, for an informal open house. Please note the change in time to avoid conflict with the 10am CU Football game.
On Sept 10, Anthony will preach during worship at 9:30am followed by a Congregational Meeting for Covenant Partners to vote to call to Anthony to be the new Pastor at Grace Commons. For those participating online, voting will only take place in person in the Sanctuary. Learn more about Anthony here.
We understand that some are anxious to know more details about the salary/benefit package for Anthony. ECO’s policies do not require that we disclose these details, and shortly after we became an ECO church in 2016 we stopped this practice. This change was difficult for many, and we are learning how to more fully lean into these policies as a congregation. Our elected officers have approved the ministry budget, set guardrails for the Pastor's Terms of Call, and are managing the personnel issues that pertain to calling a pastor and caring for them. Be reminded that all Session meetings where some of these details are discussed have minutes made available for the congregation to read. There may be questions that arise from this process, but we ask the congregation and our leadership to prayerfully discern God’s movement among us in calling our new pastoral candidate.
Following our congregational meeting, join us for Party in the Parking Lot! This annual feast includes the In-N-Out burger truck, Sweet Cow ice cream, Punch Buggy shave ice, shade, inflatables and games for kids of ALL ages. If standing in the outdoor lines is a challenge for you, simply go to Oerter Hall and sit down at a table so a server can assist you. Come enjoy our time together by meeting old and new friends and our new pastor! Our hospitality and welcome to those stopping by to join is characteristic of our love for Boulder.
