MOVING FORWARD IN FAITH:
A TIME OF TRANSITION

The Profile Committee has been busy!  They now have a draft of our parish profile and are fine-tuning it before making it public.  It appears they will meet their ambitious goal of completing this by the end of July, after which it will be submitted to our Diocese to make it available on various sites used in clergy searches.  It will also be available on our website.  The profile document will be a chance for St. Patrick’s to showcase all of its wonderful ministries and characteristics.  Profile Committee members are Kim Dickson, Paula Alvarez, Kathy Koljack, Faith Liston, and Kenner Wignall.

As the Search Committee gears up to begin the actual search, we invite anyone who has ever served on a search committee to share your experience with us.  Let them know what worked and what maybe didn’t work so well.  Search Committee members are Charla Isbell, Susan Whitworth, Paul Strickland, Kim Dickson, David Ray, Pam Inkster, and Robert Bohanon.

If you have ever served on a search committee, we invite you to share your experience with our Search Committee and let them know what worked and what maybe didn’t work so well.

As you might expect, there are expenses involved in a search such as this.  We want to offer you an opportunity to contribute toward these expenses if you choose to do so in several different ways:

· By offering frequent flyer airline points to purchase airline flights

· By offering hotel points for accommodations

· By offering to host a dinner in your home for a candidate and family (if applicable) and some search committee members

· By offering to drive a candidate and family around town to see local sights and neighborhoods

· By providing childcare for a candidate’s children if necessary

· By contributing monetarily to an established fund for these expenses (indicate Rector Search expense on your check)

Pray for your vestry and for St. Patrick's and continue to support your church in any way you can during these next months. If you have any questions, feel free to talk with Susan Whitworth (Senior Warden), Liz Muratet (Senior Warden-Elect) or any vestry member.
