Interim Rector Named!
We hope you join us Sunday, July 8th, as we welcome the new Interim Rector, Rev. Rusty Goldsmith! He will be at both the 7:30 am and 10:00 am services.

Reverend Dr. Rusty Goldsmith is now retired, but was Rector of St. Mary’s on the Highlands, Birmingham, taught for a year at Sewanee, and was the Vice Rector of St. Martin’s, Houston (SMEC is the largest Episcopal parish in the country). He recently served as the interim for Incarnation, The Highlands, N.C., and before that was the interim at St. Christopher’s, Pensacola.

Please help us welcome Rev. Goldsmith on Sunday, July 8th!
