A transition team will be planning ways to facilitate Ray and his wife Judith’s engagement with our family of faith and the wider local community. While Ray will be joining us at the beginning of December, Judith and their youngest child, Joel, will not move to Evanston until the end of the academic year.
Many opportunities will be provided for members of the congregation to get to know the Hyltons at church-wide events and on a more personal level. We are mindful of the many activities already on the church calendar for December and January that will require Ray’s time and immediate attention, and are therefore holding off on adding much more during this time.
The team is focusing on meeting some of the Hyltons’ practical needs as they move their household and family to Evanston. Specific requests for help from the congregation will be posted from time to time, but anyone who would like to offer suggestions, expertise or assistance related to the transition should contact Elizabeth Brown (847-864-5057) or Jennifer Joseph (847-920-1480) who are coordinating the transition team.
Other members of the team are: Al Borg, Sonia & Peter Bodi, Ron Ehresman, Melody Henrie, Barbara & Larry Holm, Florence Hurter, Laurie & Tom Kaeser, Elizabeth Lezark, Olga Ricketts-Peart, Gene Thiele and Caryl Weinberg.
We encourage each member of the congregation to be praying for the Hyltons and for First Pres during this transition time.
