What's next?
As Shannon leaves us, many of you have wondered about our next steps to fill a staff position. The Personnel Team has been in discussions with staff and lay leaders, and will be meeting next Tuesday, July 6, to begin evaluating Tapestry's current needs; especially working to discern future needs to keep our programs moving forward. We will be developing a job description (or descriptions, if needed) and putting a plan in place to begin the hiring process. We invite your comments and prayers as we work to expedite finding the right person or people to keep our programs, especially involving youth and children, moving forward.
