An Update From The Rector Search Committee – September 30, 2018

The Rector Search Committee is pleased to present to the congregation a summary of findings from our parish survey. You may access the report online via the church website or The Word newsletter; if you would like a paper copy, please contact Evangeline in the church office. Meanwhile, the committee continues to review materials from candidates in order to narrow the list for initial Skype interviews in October; site visits and in-person interviews will occur later in the fall. The progress of the committee can be followed on the Rector Transition page of our website. Please continue to pray that the Holy Spirit guides us throughout the Rector Search process.
