Join me in welcoming the Rev. Cheryl Hoops as our Jacob’s Learning Ladder (JLL) Chaplain. This is a new position and is five hours a week. Pastor Cheryl (as she’s known at JLL) is a retired Lutheran (ELCA) pastor. She lives in Derby and is at JLL primarily on Wednesdays.
This is a new position, so we’re creating her portfolio as we go. Pastor Cheryl is responsible for JLL Bible story time twice a month. She’ll spend time in classrooms getting to know children and is a pastoral resource for families and staff. She’s getting her picture taken at JLL picture day next month, and we’ll share that with you so you know who to look for.
Pastor Cheryl worships at the ELCA church in Haysville and is a guest preacher at other churches, but we’re looking for a date for her to be in worship at Grace one Sunday before Christmas.
We are funding this position with a portion of a special financial gift. We continue searching for a part-time staff person to work with children at Grace, a budgeted position. If you know of someone who might be interested, please talk to me.
In Christ,
Catherine NB
