As you know, our community is currently in a period of interim ministry during which we are tasked with discerning who we are, where we are headed and the attributes we need in our future long-term Rector.

This is the first in a series of updates about this process and how you are invited to participate in it. Philippa has been with us since the beginning of June and has spent a lot of her time since then getting to know and understand our community and needs. Philippa has met with many of you already and hopes to meet with all of our parish members, so don’t be surprised if Philippa invites you to share coffee or tea.

Philippa, the wardens and other members elected to the canonical committee (listed again below) have also discussed our process and how we can use existing resources like our recent parish worship survey, parish brochure and the results of our meeting last April in our work. You are welcome to speak to Philippa or any of those listed below about any questions or concerns you may have, and about what you would like to see in a future rector:  

  • Delayne Sartison
  • Phoebe Yong
  • Leah Ensing
  • Lynda Faivre-Dubos
  • Lorna Goodwin
  • Ian Halliday-Gunn
  • Ian Thomas

We will also be working with two very able consultants (with no significant cost to the parish) with experience in this area, Tasha Carrothers and Maureen Simons. Tasha and Maureen will assist us with designing and facilitating at least two all parish meetings to help with this work. We hope that all of you will attend these meetings planned for after church where lunch will be provided.  

Please save the following dates and stay tuned for more information about plans for these meetings: Sunday, September 22, 2019 Sunday, October 27, 2019
