notice of Congregational Meeting, April 26, 2026

This is the second notice of a congregational meeting for Sunday, April 26 following the worship service.
The meeting has two related purposes:

to consider an updated description of the responsibilities of the Children and Youth Program Leader, Rev. Jenny Eisener, and
to change our pastoral relationship with Rev. Eisener to a call from an appointment.

In the United Church, a "call" is an open-ended relationship, whereas an appointment has a fixed term. There is no difference in salary between a call and an appointment. In our case, the Bermuda-Nova Region of the United Church recommends we change our pastoral relationship to a call, as Rev. Eisener will be formally admitted into ministry with the United Church at the Regional meeting this May.
We encourage all members and adherents of Waverley Pastoral Charge at St. John's Church to attend this important meeting. Adherents are persons who contribute regularly to the life and work of the congregation but who are not members.
Further details and a draft meeting agenda will be available before the April 26 meeting. Child care will be provided during the meeting, contact Rev. Jenny for details on childcare.
