TIMELINE FOR PASTORIAL TRANSITION
Please receive this brief review of the timeline of the Galilee Call Committee
(a shared historical timeline is pictured below--PINK for significant member/Galilee events,
GREEN for growth among Galilee and members; and BLUE for all sorrowful occasions):
October 2024 - Council invited congregation members to receive nomination as a slate for the Galilee Call Committee members. Congregation nominees provided a statement of interest for election to the Call Committee.
November 2024 - All Committee slate elected.
Call Committee first Wednesday meeting was on Wednesday, Dec.4, 2024.
Sunday Adult Faith Formation forums included these discussions/presentations hosted by
Galilee Call Committee members:
Dec. 15 - table fellowship conversation;
Dec. 29 - table fellowship conversation;
Jan. 5 - your life at Galilee completing wall timeline;
Jan. 12 - Pastor Tori Krause Roseville Lutheran interpreting wall timeline;
Jan. 26 - Call Committee summarizing completed steps of the Ministry Site Profile (MSP)
Feb. 9 - Gloria Johnson, Galilee charter member, in an interview on memory and forgiveness
in congregational ministry.
The Galilee Call Committee has spent much time discerning and choosing, with clarity and specificity, responses based on your Dec. 15 & 29 input and actual ministry practices. After completing all the questions in the Ministry Site Profile, this document will be submitted to the St. Paul Area Synod (SPAS). After their review, the Call Committee will present the content of the MSP.
Because we are in the Lenten season, Call Committee will meet on Mondays (Bible Study on the Gospel of Luke is paused- - to be resumed April 28th). As interim pastor, I have been shepherding the completion of the Galilee Lutheran Ministry Site Profile assisting with discernment and decisions in the responses to the interpretative questions. The Galilee Call Committee will elect a chairperson/s before submitting the profile to the SPAS.
