a job completed

After many months the work of the Good Shepherd profile committee has been completed. The ministry portfolio document is on the Office of Transition Ministry Web site. The parish profile is on the Good Shepherd web site and I feel good about it. It was a collaborative effort, but a lot of the writing was mine. The “Our Current Community” section through the list of valley employers is mine, and is the discussion of the Church Assessment Tool Survey.

The layout and formatting were done by our communications director extraordinaire and I think we have a great document.

Yesterday we had a ceremony at both services (yes, I was there for the 8:00 a.m. Rite I service) to hand the baton (and we had a physical baton) from the profile committee to the search committee. We are now officially taking applications for our next rector and the work is in the hands of the search committee. That brings a big sigh of relief!
