From Director of Religious Education, Rachel Alba: “I’ll be taking an extended leave of absence starting Thursday, February 20. In my absence, Irene Kirschenbaum will be running Sunday morning Religious Education. She’s a professional Montessori trained teacher who is certified to teach Preschool through 4th grade in the public schools.  She was also our Membership Coordinator before Scott was hired for the expanded roll of Community and Connection Manager, and therefore knows our community well. 

I’ll be back the weekend of March 8-9 to attend our second building expansion visioning session, but will then be gone again through at least the end of March. I’ll be away in order support my mom as she undergoes surgery for oral cancer. As I mentioned on Sunday, the prognosis is good, however the journey to healing will be long.

While I’m away I’ll still be available via email, but with a diminished capacity to respond to things. 

Thank you all for your support as I spend time with my family during this time.”
