An Update from the Rector Search Committee – April 25, 2018

The Rector Search Committee has been hard at work since our first meeting on March 18. We now meet on a weekly basis. Our immediate focus in on finalizing a survey to help identify us as a parish – who we are and what we want. We plan to disseminate the survey to the parish in mid-May. It will provide every parishioner an opportunity to give us written input on the search process. In addition to the survey, we plan to hold a series of focus groups, for the parish as a whole and for various parish ministries, to provide an opportunity for verbal, in-person input. Details on both opportunities will be provided in this space in the weeks to come. In the meantime, please pray that the Holy Spirit guides us all in the search for a new Rector.
