Update from the Vestry


The Vestry will meet on Tuesday, October 8 at 7 p.m. Vestry meetings are open to all. The Diocese has begun vetting candidates for an Interim Rector. When we have more information, we will share with the congregation. We currently have clergy for many upcoming Sundays and will continue the "new" old tradition of Morning Prayer as needed. Some supply priests who are partnering with us: Rev. John Pumphrey, Rev. Canon David Lovelace and Rev. Canon Martha Kirkpatrick. We are offering weekly Wednesday evening sessions at 7:00 p.m. to listen and share. These sessions are available both in person in the conference room and on Zoom. Please contact any vestry member if you have questions, concerns or need information. The last page of the bulletin has a listing of all your vestry members. You can also call Jay Strong, Jr. Warden at 302-668- 7252 (Cell) or Jack Weir, Sr. Warden at 302-743-9890 (Cell).
