This weekend marks the start of “Candidating Week” (April 18 – 26). Now is YOUR chance to get to know Rev. Chad Snyder – the Search Team’s candidate for FUS minister – and HIS chance to get to know YOU! The week includes nightly meet & greet opportunities bookended by two Sunday assemblies that Rev. Chad will lead. We hope that you will avail yourself of these opportunities to learn more about the qualifications, skills, personality, and temperament that made such good impressions on us.
An overview of candidating week is shown in the graphic below. Use this form to sign up for one (or more !) of these events.
Some highlights to note:
Families – Rev. Chad will be participating in some of your favorite FUS activities: the Board Game group on Saturday evening (4/18) and the Child & Family Dinner on Sunday (4/19).
Sunday 4/19: Rev. Chad will lead the morning assembly and be introduced by the search team at a Q & A session after mini meal.
During the week of Monday, 4/20, – Friday, 4/24: Rev. Chad will participate in a variety of meet & greet opportunities co-hosted by different committees and groups at FUS:
Sunday, 4/26: Rev. Chad will lead the morning assembly and, after mini meal, there will be a congregational meeting during which FUS members will vote on whether to call Rev. Chad to be our next minister!
A separate communication with more details about the congregational vote will be sent to FUS member inboxes soon. At this time, it is important for you to know this: there will be no new information shared, no comments from the floor, and no discussion at the April 26 congregational meeting. Your participation in candidating week is key to casting a well-informed vote!
