If you have a child or grandchild graduating this spring, please fill out a Connection Card or the church office at office@hslcjuno.org by May 21st. Please include the following information: full name, who they are related to at HSLC, where they are graduating from and with what degree, and what their future plans are. Call Committee Update The Call Committee is preparing to post the Ministry Site Profile (MSP) on the ELCA website. The MSP serves as a lengthy job posting and indicates the ministry tasks, pastoral gifts, and many other factors that we seek in a new pastor. Many of our answers were written based on your responses to the church-wide survey. In addition, we are under the direction of the Church Council which unanimously voted that the candidate must meet the minimum requirement of four to nine years of pastoral leadership to be eligible for consideration for the Lead Pastor Position. Currently the Call Committee is developing an interview process with questions that will help us identify a candidate with the appropriate attributes. We want to be sure that we are fully prepared to evaluate candidates in a way that honors God and reflects positively on HSLC. If you would like to see a copy of the MSP, have questions about the Call Process or would like to suggest a pastoral candidate, please Steve Jerauld at StevenJerauld@gmail.com.
