Hi Presbyterian Friends –

I’m on the Design Team for Covenant Gathering (www.covenantgathering.com) and I learned this afternoon that we’re still short youth faculty positions – in both cases what we need is male co-leaders, one for middle school and one for high school.   In both cases, we have a female co-leader who is experienced at planning and teaching; we need someone who is a good male co-leader but not necessary a strong teacher.  This is scheduled July 1st-6th, 2012 at the Michindoh Conference Center.

Lake Michigan Presbytery is posting an opening for a Director of Music Ministries who will direct the development, coordination and administration of an effective and well-rounded music program, and provide leadership to and supervision of staff  members and volunteers involved in the music program of the church. We are hoping to fill the position by June. The current Director of Music Ministries will be retiring. Please note this position is part-time. We're hoping to find someone who might be available for up to 20 hours per week. Second, because it's part-time, we expect that the person who fills the job will live relatively near Brooklyn, Adrian and Tecumseh. Third, both the job description and the salary range can be adjusted, or negotiated depending on the candidate. Fourth, and rather obvious, because the position is part-time, we expect that candidates may have another job, or be recently retired. For more information please see this job description link.

As part of the build-up toward the new Presbyterian Hymnal, coming out in 2013, the Presbyterian Committee on Congregational Song is calling attention to singing in worship by inviting Presbyterians across the denomination to sing the same songs on given Sundays, in a program called “Many Voices, One Song.”
