Please know that the Vestry is moving forward with first stages of this healthy transition.
Here are some of the first steps we will be making:
- On April 20, the vestry will be meeting with Canon Arlette Benoit Joseph. She is Canon for the Transition Ministry for the Diocese of Pennsylvania. She will be reviewing the procedures and protocols we will be following during our transition process.
-
The first transition committee to be formed is a Prayer Committee. They will formally and collectively be praying for our congregation, Rev. Kathy and Marc, our parish leadership, the transition committees, and the new priest which will be eventually joining us. Anyone who is interested in being a part of this important work please contact Deacon Johnine or Eric Frankhouser.
- In the near term I and the vestry will be working with Rev. Kathy to identify the status, plans, and needs for the various ministries and ministry teams as we move through this period of change.
- Our wonderful Hospitality Ministry leaders are planning a celebration of Rev. Kathy’s ministry. More details to follow.
Also, a reminder of the health, growth, hospitality, and deep faith of the COHS congregation that will continue in and throughout this time of change.
Blessings and gratitude,
Kirk Walters
Rector’s Warden
