FROM THE
OFFICE
The office will be closed tomorrow Friday,

FROM THE INTERIM RECTOR
All
Saints’ Sunday! We will remember the saints in our own lives by reading their
names at the beginning of the service. We will dedicate the new altar frontal
given by Heidi in thanksgiving for her ministry here with you (and beautifully
made by Barbara Lord). Following the service is our annual Stewardship
Ingathering Brunch, which is sure to be delicious!
During
the brunch you will receive information on the formation of the Search
Committee, characteristics and qualities sought in Search Committee members,
responsibilities involved and various roles within the committee. This marks the formal beginning of our rector
search process, so I hope you will all attend (though information shared will
be made available to those who are unable to be here).
Blessings,
Caroline
