Search Committe Update

Update - July 14, 2024

Our process continues to move forward, and we are very excited to say that we completed our second set of zoom interviews the first week of July and narrowed the candidates from 3 to 2. Jane Gober, the Canon for Transisiton at the Diocese, was notified and we got the “go ahead” to proceed with scheduling the in-person interviews and site visits. We hope to have these completed by the middle of August. The vestry and the search committee will be a part of the site visits and will have the opportunity to meet our two final candidates. The search committee will be reaching out to the references the candidates presented, to gather more information on their strengths, leadership skills, and their ability to become our next rector. After the site visits, the search committee will recommend either one or both candidates for the vestry to discern who to offer the position to.

The committee would like to thank once again all of you for your support, prayers, and patience as we work prayerfully through this process.

This is the prayer the search committee has been using:

Dear God,

We know that you love and care for your church and each of the people in it. Help us to be forever mindful of you as we make our next step of decisions. Grant us, in all our doubts and uncertainties, the grace to ask you what you would have us do, that the Spirit of Wisdom will save us from false choices and that in our light, may we see a straight path to the person you want to be our next rector.  Keep our hearts and minds focused on you and listen to your voice; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen
