- A Weekly Message from Our Pastors -

 

 

-- FROM THE PASTOR'S DESK --

 

Thank You for Your Support

 Rev. John McKinnon

                      

As the birth of our son approaches, I want to thank the session and congregation in supporting my use of Paternity Leave. As a part of the Minimum Compensation Mandates of the Presbytery of West Virginia, every call to a Presbyterian Minister or a Certified Christian Educator in the Presbytery of West Virginia shall provide for Parental Leave. As a minimum, three (3) weeks of paternity leave with full pay and benefits, excluding travel expenses or allowance, shall be included in the terms of each call.

 

On January 23rd I requested and was granted parental leave by the session. I cannot really tell you how excited and grateful I am to have this time to support my wife and family. It is a real blessing to me. I also want to thank Janice Tiedeck for her support during my leave and willingness to take on my responsibilities while I am away.

 

            Our due date is February 29th. My leave will begin at the time of delivery. Thank you all again and God bless. 

                                                                                                                     John
