I am a wife (to Preston), mom (to two sons and a daughter, and their spouses) and grandmother (to five grandsons and six granddaughters). I'm a native of Edgerton, Minnesota and attended Calvin College many years ago. Since moving to Hudsonville, Michigan 30 years ago I've been a member of Georgetown Christian Reformed Church, where I was on staff from 2000-2006. Before that I worked in the office at Hudsonville Christian Middle School for 12 years. Since 2006 I've been working for the CRCNA denomination in the Office of Pastor-Church Relations. My focus is non-ordained church staff.

Hi, Doug,
Thanks so much for responding! Your insight is very helpful and covers a lot of the various situations - I love the water references you have sprinkled throughout. Your comments regarding the staff person's own agenda are especially challenging and worth noting. Thanks for the book suggestions, too. I have a feeling that you are writing from personal experience. And "Amen" to your reminder that it's Christ's Church!
Blessings,
Jeanne
