Ordination Exam Readers Needed
Volunteers (both Ruling Elders and Teaching Elders) to read ordination examinations are needed for the 2017-2018 exam cycle. Salem "readers" will be involved during the periods of August 7-11, 2017 and November 6-10, 2017. All work will be done online, and it is anticipated to take up to 10-12 hours of time in evaluating exams during the reading period. If you are willing to serve in this role, please let Rev. Dr. John Senior ([email protected]) or David Vaughan ([email protected]) know right away. If we get more volunteers than are required, we'll keep you in line for future years!
