​We want to share with the parish how the Vestry will handle confidential discussions related to the rector search and hiring interim support during this period of transition.
The Vestry will add confidential Executive Sessions to the beginning of vestry meeting.
 

• There is one (1) Vestry meeting monthly:  7pm – 9pm on the 3rd Thursday of the month.
• Meeting will begin with a Confidential Executive Session for Vestry members only.
• Following the Executive Session, the Regular Vestry meeting will begin; all are welcome to the Regular session.
• Meeting will happen IN-PERSON and VIRTUALLY. 
  • Vestry will get a new VESTRY ZOOM LINK; there will be a “Waiting Room” available for non-vestry folks who want to join the Regular Session when it begins.
• Executive Sessions are slotted for 30 minutes, but they may go longer or shorter depending on topics. 
• Executive sessions are first on the agenda because they are the highest priority for the Vestry.
• Occasionally meetings may run longer than 9pm or the Vestry may need to schedule a separate session.
• Separate meeting notes will be maintained for Executive Sessions and for regular Vestry meetings.  The plan is to have a password protected Google files to store Executive Session meeting notes.

On behalf of the Vestry, we are pleased to announce that the Search Committee for a new Rector is to be made up of the following members:

1. Pat Egan
2. Andy Follansbee (Vestry Representative)
3. Wendy Hallstrom
4. Marge Keller
5. Jane Paradiso
6. Alison Schnaudt
7. Anne Simpson
8. Rex van Veldhuisen (Chair)
9. Lindsay Wyglendowski

On March 10, at the 10 o’clock service, there will be a ceremony at which the Search Committee will be commissioned.

The first thing that the Committee needs to do is to prepare a Parish Profile that will be posted after Father Philip Carr-Jones steps down as Rector on June 30. The Parish Profile will provide information to potential candidates about who we are as a church, where we want to go as a church and what we are looking for in a new Rector. The Committee will involve the congregation in the development of the Profile. After the Profile is posted publicly, the Committee will start to receive applications from Candidates. At the end of the search process the Committee will present three candidates to the Vestry. The Vestry will then select the candidate that the Bishop will call as the new Rector.
​
Please join the Vestry in thanking the members for their willingness to serve and in prayerfully supporting the Committee as it performs its critical mission.
