Transition Update 11-12-25
The Discernment Committee has done an excellent job with refreshing our profile. Please read it at this link. The new profile was submitted to Rev Suzanne Roberts on 11/10/2025 and is expected to be posted on all the same sites as the two prior postings, by the end of this week. Lutheran, as well as Episcopal candidates will be considered.
As we now enter the interview phase again, we will not expect future updates until the Discernment Committee has a candidate to call.
Please continue to hold this process and all the people involved in your prayers.
