Safeguarding God's Children Safe Church Training
To Be Held At Trinity Church, September 15
The Diocesan training program entitled, "Safeguarding God's Children for Ministries and For Parents and Congregations" will be held at Trinity Church from 8:30 am until 12:30 pm on Saturday September 15. It is a requirement of the Bishop and of this church that every person - all paid staff and all volunteers - over the age of 18 who works with youth, children, or in the nursery receive this training. It is also the expectation that all vestry persons, paid staff, and wardens will attend the training. If you have had this specific training in the past, it is not necessary to take it again; however, you will need to provide a certificate or other documentation of that prior training. In order to make it convenient for those of us who have not had the training and who live in the southern part of the Diocese, The Rev. Cn. David Johnson and Ms. Leigh Jensen, Chair of the Safe Church Committee, will be here to facilitate the training. We look forward to seeing you at Trinity Church on September 15.

The person must be able to commit to be present at all EYC events, and to work with and supervise the peer ministers who will also be present for all youth events. Additional time will be required to assist with program development and to also recruit others and coordinate them in the preparation of food for EYC events. The EYC director will report to the rector, but will also work with the Chair of the Education Commission, the Episcopal Chaplain to USM, and others in developing programming. The selected individual will undergo a mandatory background check and will be required to take or to have taken Safe Church training from the Diocese of Mississippi. This position will pay $400 per month during the academic year, and the selected individual will be hired for an initial 90 day period after which a performance review will be conducted to determine continuation of the individual in the position.
