I am very pleased to share the good news that for the first time in many years, our ministry will be supported by a full-time Director of Stewardship & Development.
After reviewing applications from across the country
and beyond, the top candidate was right in our midst:
Ms. Bronwyn Roy, an active parishioner and life-long Episcopalian, is now joining our staff.
Known to many of us, especially in the Great Hall and Nursery School communities, Bronwyn is a person with bright warmth who connects readily with people of all ages; she is creative and detail-oriented, a problem-solver and strategic planner with a deep commitment to St. Columba's Church and Nursery School.
Bronwyn's professional experience includes work as development director, realtor and actor. Bronwyn writes,
"I was first introduced to this parish through its outreach ministries, and was struck by this community's steadfast commitment to support one another and make real change in the world. I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to help realize the vision and mission of St. Columba's Church."
In her new role, Bronwyn will provide strategic support to our annual stewardship campaign committee, chart next steps for our planned giving program, and lay the groundwork for a future capital campaign. Above all else, Bronwyn will help each of us come to a deeper appreciation of our blessings from God and the potential for our life together in Christ as we embody God's love, justice and mercy.
A deep bow of gratitude to the half dozen plus parishioners who gave generously to create and fund this new position.
Please join me in welcoming and supporting Bronwyn in her new role.
