Announcement Regarding Student
Computer Needs
Divinity
School students are currently not being met. The Central ITS support
staff is unable to handle requests from Divinity/ISM/ students any longer, so
please refrain from contacting them. For the remainder of the semester,
The Divinity School will be able to use the services of Noah Dietrich, a
Library ITS staff member, to assist with your needs. He will be available
to meet with students between 2-4 on Thursdays in the Student Computer Cluster,
L109. Please save your questions for this time slot, as Noah will not be
available outside of the posted hours. Our initial thought is to address
virus issues and connectivity problems first. We are looking into a more
permanent fix for the 2005 School Year and will update you over the summer.

Church Profile
and Job Description
In the center of East Barnard village there is a small church, that has served the surrounding area for over 150 years. It is historically a non-denominational church community. In the beginning, different groups, Methodist, Baptists, Universalists, would use the church on a specified week each month, sharing in the upkeep of the building. Today, we come together to worship during the months of June, July, August and again at Christmas Eve. We are looking for a minister, who may be active, retired or a seminary student, who would be responsible for worship services each week. As our children are an important part of our community, we would expect each service to include a children’s sermon. Other duties would include some sort of adult education or regular fellowship. In the past this has been in the form of a book discussion or theme-based potluck suppers. Two or three meetings over the course of the summer would be sufficient. Visiting of church members who are sick, elderly or in need of support would be expected as well. The community could foresee the candidate having time for study or research, or possibly having a part-time job in the area.
Compensation for the three months is $2,500. Help with obtaining housing would be available, and we would hope that the minister or intern would want to live in or close to our community.

of environmental stewardship, seeks a
New Haven-based organizer for 8-12 hours
a week in the 2004-05 program year. The pay is excellent

fluorescent lightbulbs, and education sessions
have informed people about the
connections between faith and environmental stewardship and
the benefits of renewable energy.

BTFO Coordinators 2004
The planning and leadership of the Before the Fall Orientation (BTFO) for new
and entering students is served by two student coordinators, selected at this
time each year for service through the
summer and early fall. The Coordinators offer their service to the
Divinity School and the entering class of new students as organizers of the entire BTFO program, scheduled this year
for August 24th to 27th. The work of BTFO Coordinator is a paid position,
offering $3,000 in total income for the entire project. The hours are flexible
and the schedule is variable over the course of the project, but the
Co-Coordinators should anticipate some work now before the summer
officially begins; work on campus throughout the summer break (mostly
part-time but sometimes full-time, with time for vacations); work
throughout the BTFO program itself; and some follow-up work after
the new semester begins. If you are interested in serving as a
BTFO Coordinator for 2004, please
indicate your interest to me by the end of the day on Wednesday.
Director of Childrens Ministries
Position Available in Greenwich
I graduated from the Div School last year and I am
leaving my current position to move to the Washington DC area. I would
love to talk to anyone who might be interested in filling it. During my
year here I have had a chance to lead teacher training sessions, deliver
children’s sermons, teach Sunday School classes, preach, lead liturgy, head a
committee, participate in staff meetings with the other ministers and generally
sink
into the life of the church. This is a great
opportunity to explore church ministry for the not-yet-ordained or for those
who are still discerning their calling. It is a part-time position
with a fairly flexible starting date. Look for a more detailed posting
from the church in the next few weeks. Please e-mail me at <mailto:Dunfee@fpcg.org>Dunfee@fpcg.org
or call me at 203-869-8356 if you have any questions.
