Siblings in Christ,
We write to share the news that Rene’ Mewes, FLC’s finance coordinator, is resigning her position with us. Her last day will be Tuesday, May 7. As we give thanks to God for all the ways in which Rene’ has blessed us with her work and expertise, we are carefully preparing for this transition.
You can be assured that your FLC staff and council have a transition plan in place, and all finance-related tasks will be handled by qualified staff and/or volunteers until a new finance coordinator can be hired. Until then, you may direct any finance questions to our treasurer, Bob Brownawell, at finance@farmingtonlutheran.com. Please pray that we find a great fit to be FLC’s next finance coordinator. We will let you know when that happens.
Thank you for all the ways you give of your time, talents, and resources to support ministry at FLC, and for trusting FLC to be a good steward of your generous donations.
