Search Committee applications
are now being accepted. Committee work will begin in earnest after the parish profile has been communicated church-wide, but preliminary training will probably be held sometime during late summer. Application forms are located in Hannaford Hall. Besides requesting nominee information, the form also specifies the criteria and characteristics most desired for an effective Search Committee. Regarding the time frame, the nomination form says: "A good rule of thumb is to plan for one evening meeting each week for anywhere from six months...to one year." The application period will end on May 31.
Confirmations will take place on Saturday, May 6 at St. Anne Church, West Chester. Persons 12 and up are encouraged to be confirmed, and anyone who wishes to be a member of the Vestry, a delegate to Diocesan Convention, or hold any diocesan position must be a confirmed member of the Episcopal Church. Please see Joanna if you are not yet confirmed or received (from another denomination) and wish to do so this year.
The next
Profile Gathering will take place on
Sunday, April 30. 2017 at 12:00 noon in Hannaford Hall. Food will be served and child care will be available. At this meeting, the Rev. Dr. Stephen Smith, rector at St. Patrick's Episcopal Church in Dublin, Ohio will offer a presentation on "Generations," talking about the gifts and role of the various "generations" (Baby Boomer, Gen X and Y, Millennials, etc.) in the church. Since Calvary is such a diverse church, it will be helpful during this transition toward a new rector to know how to involve all age groups in the life of the church, by supporting and embracing the various gifts that they offer. This is a chance to meet the Polaroid Generation and the Snapchat Generation and everybody in between!

Holy Week and Easter hold such special traditions at Calvary, and it is a privilege each year to collaborate with various musicians for the liturgies on Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. My thanks to Edy Dreith, Sharon Grayton, and Satish Casie Chetty for their beautiful musical offerings during those evenings! And, of course, I'm grateful to the Calvary Choir, Sungyun Kim, and Robb Feldhaus for sharing their gifts on Easter morning.

A
lmighty and everlasting God, who in the Paschal mystery established the new covenant of reconciliation: Grant that all who have been reborn into the fellowship of Christ's Body may show forth in their lives what they profess by their faith; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
