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
