CYF Staffing Update

At the Annual Meeting, we announced that two interim staff members would be sharing a Children, Youth and Family ministry role. After a little time of discernment in the office this week, one of the candidates withdrew her name due to discomfort with working in person during COVID.

Bristol Reading will be working with tasks from the Children’s Youth & Family Ministry and Pastor of Congregational Life positions while we begin looking for permanent staff in those areas.
