An Update From The Rector Search Committee – March 1, 2019

The Rector Search Committee has presented to the Vestry three finalists for their ultimate determination. This concludes an eleven-month committee endeavor, which included conducting and analyzing a parish survey; hosting focus groups; developing a parish profile; receiving and reviewing nearly 40 applications; hosting 15 video interviews; making nine site visits; and hosting five semi-finalists in Washington.

Thank you for keeping the Search Committee in your prayers across these many months. Please continue to pray that the Holy Spirit guides St. John’s through this final phase of the Rector Search process.
