Items needed are:

Matt’s Leaving…so now what
With Matt leaving us after April 7, many are wondering what happens now? Session has had discussions on the direction to take after Matt is gone, and while there are many more questions than answers at this point, here is some concrete information.
First, The Pastoral Nominating Committee continues its work searching and discerning the next called pastor to lead Pine Street into the future. They are hard at work trying to find that person, but as of now, we do not know how much longer it will take. keep the PNC in your prayers, and ask that the Spirit send the pastor intended for us to us. Preferably, soon.
Next, thanks to the hard work of David Colestock as Chair of the Worship Committee and many thanks to the Rev. Don Potter and Rev. Heather Sigler, we currently have scheduled and will have ministers in our pulpit every Sunday from April 14 through July 7. Our Sunday services will be held as usual. Should we need to schedule further, we will do that.
As our Book of Order requires, Presbytery has appointed a Moderator to run our Session meetings. She is the Rev. Arlene Dunn who is currently a chaplain at a hospice and a member of the Carlisle Presbytery. Session will meet her at our next stated meeting on April 22.
We will not pursue another interim pastor for several reasons. Most important is that an interim comes with several transitional charges and duties. Matt has completed these duties and this role admirably and Presbytery would not support our calling another interim because it is not appropriate for where we are in the transition process.
If anyone needs pastoral care after Matt leaves, please contact Krystle Whitley, our Church Administrator. She will refer your request to the Deacons who will handle pastoral care requests, and will be backed up by our Stephen Ministers should they be needed. As I write this, we do not yet have a minister to call on should one be needed, but it is a priority for Session to find someone to fill this role.
Be assured that Session is working to make sure that the programs and ministries of Pine Street continue during this transition. Should you have any questions or concerns.
Please feel free to talk to any of the Elders.
