Special Message from Rev. Melanie September 2021

 A Special Note from Rev. Melanie                                           

When Rev. Stephen Glauz-Todrank retired from Skyland in June 2018, it was important for both him and the congregation to spend some time apart.  This gave Rev. Stephen time to settle into retirement and the congregation time to figure out who the congregation is without Rev. Stephen as your pastor.  It gave you and Rev. Kevin space to do the work of interim ministry and ReVision, and it gave us time to settle in together as pastor and congregation.  

Now that we are settled in together and solidly working together in ministry, it is time to welcome Rev. Stephen and Rev. Carolyn's presence in the community.  Let's remember that Rev. Stephen is happily retired and we honor his retirement by not calling on him for pastoral needs, but reaching out to him as you would any beloved member of the community is just fine.

Finance Team Update August 2021

  The Finance Team added a new member, Jackie Seymour and a consultant, Terrie Landini to our team in June. In late June the Finance team met and agreed upon a process to make recommendations as to the management, use and investment of our monies for the benefit of our Skyland Church community. We divided into two sub-groups to research opportunities and to develop rules and policies as well as recommendations for the use of the monies. We will keep in mind the history of the Milberry fund and the Endowment. One sub-group is tasked with research on the Milberry Fund and Endowment Investments. The other sub-group is researching opportunities for the Board Designated Reserves. The Finance Team will include ESG filters (Environmental, Social, Governance) while researching the investment opportunities.
