- FROM
THE INTERIM RECTOR -
The
Rev. Canon Hannah Anderson Visits this Sunday
Earlier
this week the Wardens, Treasurer, Search Committee Co-Chairs and I spoke with the
Rev. Canon Hannah Anderson via a conference call, and talked about what we would
like for her to cover when she meets with us on Sunday. We had a good conversation that helped all of
us understand better what choices we have as move toward calling a new rector.
I am confident that you will find the same to be true after Hannah’s
presentation Sunday morning, so please attend if at all possible.
The
Search Committee wants and needs your input as information is gathered for the
Parish Profile. It will be the primary document available for rector candidates
to learn about St. Andrew's. Now is the time to make your wishes, hopes and
desires about our next Rector known. There are several opportunities for you to
give your input:
·
Sunday's meeting with Hannah
will give you valuable information for the small group house gatherings the
Search Committee will soon be holding.
·
Stay tuned for information
about the upcoming house gatherings, and be sure to attend.
·
If you haven’t yet completed
the parish survey prepared by the Search Committee, please do that ASAP!
The
Search Committee and Vestry alike encourage you to participate actively in all
of these opportunities so that your voice may be heard.
If
you have any questions or concerns, be sure to attend the parish meeting with
Hannah this Sunday, and speak to members of the Search Committee and/or Vestry
at any time.
Faithfully,
Caroline
