The Search Committee met with Canon Catherine Massey of the Diocese on January 18 to discuss the next steps in the transition process. The immediate next step — and perhaps the most important — is determining what qualities our parishioners would like to see in our new Rector. We would like to ask for your help by attending a special congregational meeting at Nativity at 10:30 am on February 4. Please note we will have only one service that day at 9 am with the congregational meeting being held directly after the service in Corlett Hall.
The meeting will be facilitated by Canon Massey who is walking alongside Nativity in our search process. We will use the information from our meeting to complete a Parish Portfolio which is a picture of ourselves, what we hope to become, and most importantly the kind of rector we will call. Once completed, the Parish Portfolio will be made available to interested rectors on the Diocese’s website and also will be posted on Nativity’s website.
We encourage everyone to attend this meeting if they are able. However, if you are unable to attend, we will send out a survey immediately following with the same questions to ensure everyone has an opportunity to have their voices heard. This survey can also be used by attending parishioners who may have additional thoughts they wish to share after the meeting concludes.
Please RSVP using this Google Form to let us know if you will be coming to the congregational meeting. Bagels and drinks will be provided.
Please know that the Search Committee very much values and needs your input to successfully complete the search. Please help us by attending this important meeting and/or by completing the online survey that will be sent immediately following. Thank you in advance for being part of this exciting time at Nativity!
Next Steps:
- The Search Committee will write and complete the Parish Portfolio. Our goal date for completion is mid-March, 2024.
- The Parish Portfolio will be posted to the Diocese’s website and Nativity’s website. Our goal is to have the portfolio posted in April, 2024.
