Her number is 643-643-3045. For information you can call Ruthie at 802-296-3727. Some of us will car pool from the Wilder Park' ride. This group is open to all and especially convenient for those who are working in Hanover.
SATURDAY KNITTERS 9-11 am
The needle workers in the congregation gather most Saturdays in the church parlor from 9 to 11 am. We welcome all who are interested in participating and folk who would like to just drop in.Check with Ruthie (802-296-3727) or Cally (603-298-8488) to be sure that we will be there and to confirm the meeting location. The prayer shawls that are made by these artisans have adorned the shoulders of many a member and friend of the congregation over the years. It is an important pastoral, prayerful ministry to and from the people of Lebanon UMC.
WANTED: Christian Education Director
The people of the Lebanon United Methodist Church have a vision. After years of prayerful discernment, we hope and believe that our church can be a hub for Christian education for all ages and a haven for spiritual formation through small group ministries and the likes. Person who would fulfill this role in the larger context of the ministry of the whole church must be passionate about Christ and ready to inspire and harness the energy of the congregation and the greater community. Alongside the pastor and the teachers and leaders who have already stepped forward, the CE Director would cast our vision and see it through. We are so committed to this 15-hour-per-week position that a family from the congregation has offered the possibility of room and board if travel would be required.
The applicant will have a minimum of two years experience working with and/or youth in a church setting. Direct experience in the field of event planning for children and/or youth activities is preferred.
Interested applicants are asked to submit a resume to the Staff Parish Relations, Lebanon United Methodist Church, 18 School Street, Lebanon, New, 03766 by December 20, 2011.
NEWSLETTER BY EMAIL
If you have email and a way to print a copy of the newsletter as needed at home, please get your email address to the office as soon as possible so that the newsletter can be sent to you electronically. On average, the office mails 80 printed copies of the newsletter each month. Each paper copy of the newsletter uses 3 large sheets of paper (12 pages). At the current postal rate, each copy costs $.84 to mail. In the spirit of good stewardship of our resources and God’s creation, we know we can reduce this paper use and cost. Thank you for contributing to this effort by sending your electronic contact information to the church office-- lebanonumc@myfairpoint.net -- or write your name down on the sheet placed on the table display.
