We're Hiring!
With mixed emotions, we announce the planned retirement at the end of April of Gayle Ortner.
Gayle has been such a vital part of our Madison staff and the face of our congregation to so many people who reach out for so many needs. For 40-plus years, she has been the one to keep us informed about and aware of so many activities and events. She has been a faithful servant to the Lord with her glowing and happy attitude to all of us, and she will be very missed. This announcement comes with mixed emotions. The joy in this announcement is that Gayle is going nowhere; she is simply retiring so she can enjoy more time with family, and we are so happy about her ability to do that. We will celebrate Gayle as we draw closer to her final days in her role, so “Save the Date” of April 28th for this celebration, and be looking for more details soon.
With that said, we encourage anyone interested in filling the role of Administrative Assistant Extraordinaire to apply via the link below. There will be an application to complete, and you will need to submit your resume. Some basic requirements of the position include great communication skills, including patience, compassion, and kindness; proficiency with MS Office products and databases; cloud-based tools like Google Drive, Forms, and Docs; familiarity with graphic design SW; and ability to support major church activities.
