Dear Friends in Christ,
I want to update you on the progress of our rector search. The Search Committee submitted the Parish Profile and OTM (Office of Transitional Ministry Questionnaire) to the Diocese for publication after vestry approval. The position is now posted in several locations. If you get the Episcopal News Service Emails, you can find the posting in their “Featured Jobs and Calls.” Link: https://www.episcopalnewsservice.org/jobs/.
The information is also posted on our website: click here
We owe a “huge” thank you to the Search Committee for their hard work. They met most Tuesday evenings since November, working towards this moment. They worked in small groups and individually to write, edit, and review entries for each document outside of their scheduled meeting time.
You may be wondering about what happens next. The committee plans to keep the job posting open for the next six weeks. Applicants will reach out to Denise Obando, who is the Director of Transitional Ministries for the Diocese. Denise’s job is to review each application per diocesan guidelines, answer applicant questions, and forward applications to our search committee. The next step is for the committee to review applications, select candidates, and schedule interviews. It is an involved, time-consuming and necessary process.
When you get a chance, thank the members for their hard work and willingness to continue as search committee members. Search Committee: Noelle Chard, Michele Charles, Charlie Fox, Peter Jensen, Aidan Jobe-Sea, Kristin Kearns, Mike Robinson, Daniel Tenedorio, and Mees Tielens.
Yours in Christ,
Bob+
