George O’Reilly, who has served the Ohio Conference as transitional conference leader and more recently as the Year of Covenant facilitator, has taken a full-time position as one of the pastors at First Mennonite Church in Bluffton.

He will continue his work on the Year of Covenant on a one-quarter-time salary through September.  He is working on composing a group of individuals to carry on that process after September and will continue to be available on a contract basis through March of next year.

We want to take this opportunity to thank George for all the many ways that he has served the Ohio Conference in his roles as transitional conference leader and his work with the Year of Covenant.  And we wish him God’s blessing in his new endeavors.
