Tom Mauriello sends greetings live from his kitchen. That's a pig cutting board on the wall. It's infamous. Ask him about it. 

  • It might come as a shock, but not all Reliant staff check their emails. There is a lot of vital info coming out now and over the next few months that we'll be communicating to people's Reliant emails. Can you help by encouraging your Reliant co-workers to check their Reliant email regularly? A great hack to this is to view Reliant emails in one's main email in-box. For more on that, check out this Solomon page and scroll down to "How to Use Multiple Email Accounts."

  • Good news! Your Reliant Central Team is still processing gifts quickly and working hard to serve you well. 
  • Out of extreme caution, the Central Team will continue working remotely for a while, even as the state of Florida opens up. 
  • If you have local concerns (maybe you have medical needs or concerns), we encourage you to continue physical distancing. As an employee, Reliant doesn't want you to feel pressure to do anything you feel wouldn't be safe for you or your family or someone in your household. If you have questions, talk to your supervisor or contact the Reliant office. We are here to help.

  • We are very pleased to report MTD is going really well on the whole. 
  • We do recognize while it's going well for many, that might not be the case for your specific situation. If this is you, please reach out to your MTD Coach or your program team lead. We want to help. 
  • God's people are still giving. There are enough people who are still able to give and want to be a part of mission giving. 
  • You can check out the MTD During COVID-19 page on Solomon for more tips on how to do MTD during this time of social distancing. 
  • Our training used to say in-person is better for MTD appointments, but we do not consider in-person MTD appointments essential right now. We do ask you approach MTD appointments virtually or over video. If someone invites you to their house or to walk with you outdoors and stay socially distant, we'll trust that decision between you, your supervisor and your MTD Coach. But, we don't want staff initiating or pressing people into in-person meetings in case they're not ready for it or don't feel safe. Since we're now seeing video appointments are as effective as in-person for casting vision and connecting, we feel confident recommending them to you. An added bonus is they are easier to schedule (sometimes scheduling and attending a meeting all within the same hour) and you can attend more in one day than the traditional in-person appointment. If you haven't had a video appointment for MTD yet, contact your MTD Coach to set up a practice session. This is a skill to build right now, regardless if you're in an active MTD season or not. Don't know who your coach is or need extra help? Contact the Reliant office.
  • June and August New Staff Trainings will be virtual. We wouldn't be surprised if all trainings are virtual through the end of the year. Right now we are also hosting a virtual intern training.

  • This task force was put together by the Reliant Board to address issues of power, harassment and abuse with our staff and partner churches. They've been assessing Reliant's policies, procedures and training. That's led to some of the things we will be discussing in this call. 
  • The Task Force consists of: two Reliant board members (Jim Kaufman & Kara LaFleur), two Reliant Central leaders (Tom Mauriello & Julie Thomas) and an abuse, trauma, and organizational behavior counselor (Tracy Johnson).
  • Tracy Johnson has extended the invitation to you to reach out if you want to talk about anything you've experienced in ministry. Contact her directly over email at tracy@restorationcounselingcono.com



  • A highly anonymous survey will be sent to you this week through SurveyMonkey. We're asking you to complete it by the end of May. Individual results will go to a statistician and Tracy. Reliant will only be presented with aggregated data such as totals and averages. We will not know who gave any particular answer. We really want to hear from you and what you've experienced or seen. This will help us assess how things are going and what areas we can improve on. Your feedback is very important to us!
