New Curate/Assistant Rector Hired!
Starting August 7
|
Sadly, Deacon Heather’s time with us as curate will end June 4th (watch for celebration notices). However, we’re pleased to announce that we’ve been asked to welcome in another curate. Because the Rev. Dawn Stary will be ordained to the priesthood in August, and the diocese is covering a portion of her full-time compensation for the first year, her title will be: “Assistant Rector”. Having felt called to serve the church from a young age, Dawn has lived that out through social justice work and works of mercy. Before seminary, she worked with refugees and asylum seekers in San Diego County as a mental health clinician and a Children, Youth, and Family Minister. She will complete her Master’s of Divinity at Sewanee's School of Theology in May, and is thrilled to be joining us! Dawn loves baseball, reading, her cat, and most of all, her family and friends, especially her spouse Simeon and her child Declan.

Join us on an exciting journey of discovery through the New Testament narratives in a quest to discover what resurrection tells us about life after death, the end times, and what it actually means to be a Christian.
