A WORD FROM THE WARDEN

The Vestry met with David Johnson, Cannon to the Ordinary, to review plans for our search for a new Rector.  He recommended that we first complete a survey to determine what we want in a new priest and what direction we would like to see our parish take.  With that suggestion in mind, and David’s help, we are organizing a survey parishioners will receive by e-mail.  There will be copies in the office for those of you who prefer working with a printed version.  Please take this time to complete the anonymous survey.  If you are online it will be easy to fill out and submit.  Once submitted, it will go straight to Cannon Johnson, and he will compile the information and present it to the parish on Sunday, November 27, at a meeting after our service.  Please plan to attend this very important business luncheon.

Thank you for your patience during this exciting process, Carolyn Jane
