Hi All: Just a quick note to say Ministry and Employment is on Twitter!

Follow M&E for updates on information posted on United Church of Canada sites, such as WonderCafe, www.united-church.ca, and ChurchLeadershipNet (CLN).

@uccan_mande (also UCCan_MandE)

I also retweet information from around the web on:

-pensions, benefits, human resources and like issues

-retirement, phased retirement, planning for retirement, managing retirement

Fore those of you that recieved a paper version of the recent Pastoral Relations survey (many of you, WonderCafe folk, would have done this online)

PLEASE NOTE: Survey deadline has been extended to March 11 (Friday).
