An Update from the Rector Search Committee – May 14, 2018

A survey that we hope every parishioner will complete is now live. The survey is also accessible in the Word, on the church website, and the link will be listed in the weekly bulletin. The survey will help to identify us as a parish – who we are and what we want in a new Rector, and it will be accessible until Monday, June 4. Please submit your completed survey by that deadline. It is critically important that every parishioner complete the survey so that we may have the benefit of everyone’s views. (For those parishioners who need paper copies, they should contact Evangeline Gravina in the Parish Office at (202) 347-8766. Paper copies should be returned to her at 1525 H Street, NW, Washington, DC 20005, likewise by the June 4 deadline.)

In addition to the survey, there will be opportunities to provide further, in-person input at either of two focus group sessions, both of which will be held in the church nave. The first will take place immediately following the 10:30 a.m. service on Sunday, June 10 (nursery hours have been extended for parents of young children). The second session will be at 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, June 24. We expect each session will last an hour.
Thank you in advance for your input during this very important part of the Rector search process. Please continue to pray that the Holy Spirit guides us in the search for a new Rector.
