The Search Committee will be convening its first meeting in July. No timeline has been set yet by the committee as to when the search will be completed. If you have questions, inquiries, or letters of interest, they can be sent to searchcommittee@fum.org. Please share this opening far and wide among your Quaker circles.

Please also hold the Search Committee in the Light of Christ as they go about the work they’ve been given. Pray that God will give them wisdom and discernment as they consider who will lead us next.
