I am very sorry to let you know that Karen Murray-Hopf is retiring as our church Media Communications Chair and Web Administrator on December 31. She has served as administrator for the past decade since we launched the website in 2016. She has been a member, then Chair of Media Communications for as many years. Our glenmorrisunited.ca internet site is professionally presented with up to date information about upcoming events, worship information, administrative documents, and opportunities for donations. Material from this site is then included in the weekly Passing the Peace Newsletter which is widely distributed. The high standard of all these products is evidence of Karen’s dedication, skill and expertise. She has agreed to continue managing our church gmail service, social media posts, and assist in organizing events and concerts for the church. 

On behalf of every member of this church I wish to express our very sincere thanks to Karen for all these volunteer duties that she has undertaken for years, for her continuing some of her previous respsonsibilities, and for all her other work done here in our church. 

We now need to ask one or two people to take over the roles in communications and web management which will allow a seamless transition in the new year. Karen is more than willing to support and teach the new candidates to ensure this vital work continues. Some of these duties and qualifications include:

 

• Website administration experience desirable not necessary, however training is required
• Taking photos and/or adding images for each post as this website is image driven. Experience with Canva graphic design platform (other similar free online product) 
• Adherence to copyrighted materials laws, including GMUC Copyright Policies
• Ongoing updates of static webpages
• Creation of the weekly newsletter, including all upcoming events and important news, including Rev. Michiko’s ‘Passing of the Peace’ message. Distributed Thursday or Friday
• Awareness of ongoing activities/news of the church is important, but enforced deadlines of submissions are required, knowing others will submit their events/news/letters in a timely fashion.
• Required time weekly – approximately 3-5 hours


Our church has an enviable status in the high quality of webservices and communications provided, and it is imperative that these services are maintained. If you or someone you know would consider taking on some of this work, please contact any member of the Nominating Committee.
