Many thanks to all of you for the warm welcome you’ve extended during my first days in the office. It’s been a joy to meet so many of you, and I look forward to many more meetings and conversations in the weeks ahead.

Here are the best ways to reach me:

Email address: yael@uccsalem.org

Church office phone and confidential voice mail: 503-363-3660 ext. 306

My regular days in the office are Tuesday through Friday. On these days, I check my email twice a day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon. Because life in the ministry can be unpredictable, I am often called out to visit folks in the hospital and at home. So, if you’d like to meet with me in my office, please do call or email in advance to set up an appointment.

And…please feel free to stop by to chat (no appointment needed!) during my drop-in hours on Wednesday mornings from 9:00 – 10:30 am at Ike Box Café, 299 Cottage Street. I would love to see you there!

Mondays are sabbath days for me, spent in prayer and reflection – often outdoors and almost always unplugged. Because this is an important spiritual practice for me, I generally do not check email on Mondays. However…

…if you have a pastoral emergency, I always want to hear from you, any day of the week and any time! Please note that email is not the best way to reach me in an emergency. If you do have a pastoral emergency, please don’t hesitate to call the office.

I’m very much looking forward to visiting with you in new year!

With grateful prayers and much joy at the start of our ministry together,

Yael
