A prayer for our new Rector:


Almighty God, who knows our needs even before we ask, grant us peace and a spirit of faith, that we may have the wisdom and courage to meet the days to come with steadfast hope and patience; look graciously upon our beloved All Saints’, and send forth your Holy Spirit to guide the search committee, the vestry, and our parish family to be of one heart and one mind, that we may seek and receive a faithful pastor to care for your people and equip us for our ministries.


All Saints Family,


The vestry is excited to share that we have completed the first major step in the calling of our next rector. Following meetings with the Canon to the Ordinary and prayerful consideration of many wonderful people suggested by vestry members and parishioners, the vestry is excited to announce the Search Committee for our next rector!

Under the current guidelines for the rector search process, the Search Committee will be tasked with listening to the parish, creating the parish profile, considering candidates, and making a recommendation to the vestry.


The Search Committee will soon begin seeking input from the parish to prepare a parish profile for rector candidates. Your participation is crucial, so please keep an eye out for information about completing a survey and attending listening sessions. We are committed to keeping you informed throughout this process. Please keep the committee in your prayers as they plan, work, and discern who God is calling to be the new Rector for All Saints.

The Search Committee will be commissioned at the 11:00 am service on Sunday, March 1st. Please join us!


Faithfully,

Alexa McElroy and Drew Hataway

Rector Search Committee Update


The Rector Search Committee continues to make steady progress in our search for the next rector of All Saints. We are currently interviewing candidates and spending considerable time together as a committee thoughtfully considering each candidate’s experience, gifts, leadership style, and vision for ministry.


We have been encouraged by the quality of the candidates we are meeting and by the search process as a whole. We are grateful for the strong response to our search and for the opportunity to meet with individuals who bring a variety of experiences and perspectives to the ministry of the church.



As a committee, we are approaching this process with prayer, care, and intentionality. We recognize the importance of finding the right person to lead All Saints into its next chapter, and we are committed to giving this discernment the time and attention it deserves.

Thank you for your continued prayers and support of the Search Committee and this important process. We look forward to keeping the parish informed as we move forward and will share additional updates as the search progresses.
