Rector's Warden Report: March 2nd, 2023

The train keeps moving forward here at St. Martin's. At this week's vestry meeting, we selected a committee who will research consultants to assist the parish in our Rector Discernment/Search Process. They will make a recommendation to the vestry for someone who will provide support to the parish. The consultant will advise us on our next steps as we prepare the parish profile, write a job description for the new rector, and then assist the vestry as we put together a discernment/search committee. We are grateful to Jim Fairburn and Victoria Sicks for taking the lead as co-chairs.
Sometimes our train feels like it's in the station for a bit, but then we hit the express track. Regardless, we expect our process to take about 18 months dating from the time our Interim Rector arrived in Advent.
Meanwhile, I look forward to seeing you all at Lent + Joy on March 8th at 6pm when the vestry will prepare a meal and provide a Forum at 7pm on what gives us joy serving. Learn more
