Search Committee Update


We are so pleased to announce that our 2019 All Saints' Church and Preschool Profile is completed.  As mentioned in the Special Edition of the Epistle, the Vestry and the Office of the Bishop approved it and we currently  have it posted on the Episcopal Diocesan Website and Facebook. 

The preparation of the Profile was indeed a process that involved all of our church 'Ohana  (whether you were praying for us, expressing your feelings , reviewing  our drafts or creating beautiful photos and layouts ). We were all different parts of the body , but of one spirit in Christ. We , the Search committee are truly thankful  for your participation as well as your patience to make this all possible.  

What is expected to happen in the next phase  (upcoming months) of this search process is:

  • Episcopal Diocese to post Profile with an 8/31/19 deadline for applications;
  • The Search Committee will be presented with the candidates and material for review and will then reduce number of applicants to 7 (depending on number of applicants);
  • The Search Committee will research list of candidates, interview, and select 3 finalists;
  • The finalists names will be presented to the Vestry;
  • The Search Committee will set up, host, and schedule the final candidates interviews with the vestry;
  • The Search Committee will now hand over the responsibility to the Vestry to make their first choice for our Priest in charge. 

We kindly ask that you continue to pray for us and would like to share a prayer written by  The Rev. Mary Jo Schuetz from St. John's Episcopa Church, Michigan. 

"O God of patient and gentle strength, who know our needs even before we ask, may your loving presence guide us as we seek the next rector for All Saints'. Give us an open spirit, discerning hearts and clear minds, that we may trust your will for us and become ever more united in your son our Savior, Jesus Christ. Inspire our conversation, deepen our prayer, and make us a community of humility and grace. Raise up for us, we pray, a priest and  pastor who will boldly proclaim your Gospel, faithfully administer your sacraments, and serve your people with love and compassion.

All this we ask through Jesus our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen "
