A MESSAGE FROM THE VESTRY

The Vestry held it’s regularly scheduled meeting on Monday, July 8. In early August, we will begin the search for an interim rector.

The Interim rector will be here to lead the worship service and attend to the pastoral needs of the congregation during the transition time until a new rector is called.

The Diocese will help us as we move into the next phase of self reflection as we determine our needs.

As new developments arise, we will share them with the congregation through the e-Epistle and Sunday morning updates during the service.

We appreciate your prayers during this time.

Respectfully,

The Vestry

Thanks from a Family Promise Family



We recently received this note from one of the families that we have helped break the cycle of homelessness through Family Promise. It was so touching that we wanted to share. The note is as follows:

Thank you guys for your hospitality. Our own family didn't make us feel at home and wanted as you guys did. We appreciate what you did for our family. All of your Volunteers are the best. They are dedicated, very special people. I loved that we had supper every night and shared our day, which in turn helped everyone have a great night, sleep, and wake up to very productive days. Thank you again. 

Volunteers, thank you for all you do for Family Promise. You are truly making a difference.
