...and what we offer

We recognize and support the need for our priest to practice self-care and maintain healthy, loving connections with their family. It is our duty to protect that sacred time for our priest.

Continuing Education for clergy is a priority and we also understand the importance of time away to relax, recharge and renew. Our parish values an honest exchange of ideas and a strong partnership between the clergy and laity in leadership, spiritual formation, evangelism and outreach.

We look to our priest for vocational guidance of the laity and to recognize the particular gifts each parishioner has to offer to our parish, the larger church and our community. And it is our joy to pray for our priest!

Parish Development will be important to us as we continue to recover from the impacts of the pandemic on parish participation and activities, so it is our pledge to work hand in hand with our next priest to discern both our parish goals and the path we will travel to reach them. Prior to each Vestry meeting, we pray for guidance and for wisdom. In praying for wisdom in discernment, we ask to be freed "from any bonds that tie us to our past, but hinder us in loving and serving in this time " We will strive to always keep an open mind to new ideas and forms of worship and keep "the way we've always done it" from hindering us in our ability to see where we are being led.
