Rector Search Update
by Search Committee Chair Richard Cabes
The Search Committee of St. Martin-in-the-Fields Episcopal Church is in the final stage of its Rector Search. We have been blessed with an abundance of excellent and dedicated priests applying to lead our congregation. We are now in dialogue with our top few candidates and expect to have a recommendation to the vestry before Advent. Please continue to pray for the Search Committee as we discern the best fit for our parish among our remaining candidates.

Update: the parish profile survey period has ended. The parish profile survey is available online and as a printable PDF. Please complete the survey online or return it to church by April 29, 2014. The survey is a first step in preparing our parish profile, and an essential part of our discernment process in calling a new rector. We hope to hear from every individual at St. Martin-in-the-Fields. The survey should take about 20 minutes to complete.
Information for continuing the rector search process
Following a good meeting with the Rev. Canon Janet Waggoner, we are now poised to move into the next phase in our search for a new rector. There are four important groups which have important areas of responsibility in order to have a successful search: the Vestry, the Profile Committee, the Search Committee, and the congregation. Let’s look at each group’s responsibilities:
