A note to the Meeting House from Rev. Edmund Robinson
Wow! Thank you all so much for that incredible vote of confidence at your meeting April 13! I hope to live up to it. I think I am already falling in love with you all. I drove back to New York on a cloud. Special thanks go to Liz Sjogren and your incredible search committee, to Sue Bauer for organizing the candidating week, to Melissa Clayton for her emotional and logistical support, and to my predecessor ministers for helping build you into the great congregation you are.
Several people have volunteered to help in the search for housing for us, and all ideas and leads are gratefully considered. Please feel free to contact us by e-mail (edmuund@gmail.com, jaspianist@aol.com) or phone (617-710-0508) with late-breaking news. I'll be busy wrapping up the year at Staten Island for most of April and May, but I plan to take at least one trip back to Chatham in the next weeks to investigate housing options.
One item looming large on the church's agenda is the search for a new Director of Religions Education. While I can't be the primary mover on that, I am interested and will do everything I can to make myself available to interview candidates when they are developed.
Dave will shepherd you through the rest of this church year as I will shepherd the Staten Island congregation. I look forward to seeing most of you in September.
All blessings,
Edmund
