Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When will Sean Miller start?
Sean's first official day of employment is January 13, 2020, but he will have limited hours in the office between then and February 1, 2020. During that time he will be preparing his new sermon series, God Uncensored, and getting his family ready to move from the Sacramento area to the Saratoga/West Valley area. Q: Who is going to preach on Sundays now? April Diaz will be returning as our guest preacher on January 19 and 26. Sean will begin preaching on February 2. We have never expected our lead pastor to preach 52 weeks a year, for their well-being as well as for ours. Sean will be away periodically for study weeks, vacation and outside speaking engagements. As we have done for 100 years, those weeks he is away the pulpit will be filled by a variety of other staff members, guests and/or special events. Q: How can I help? We ask that you continue to pray for guidance in the transition process. Please pray for wisdom and discernment for the Council of Elders, Sean and the church staff as they build new relationships and share together the process of leading the church forward into our second century of ministry and service. And thank God for His ongoing faithfulness and guidance to Saratoga Federated Church. Q: If I have questions or concerns that are not answered here, to whom should I direct them? To the Council of Elders. |
