Candidates for this position Will be sourced by the Synod and the Diocese. What s Inside: Lutheran/Episcopal Update Important Reminders Healing Service Information Ministry Lists Members at a Glance Birthdays and Anniversaries Financial Stewardship Calendar Committee Members During 2017 the Synod and the Diocese will present one or more candidates for approval by a Call Committee (combined members from Good Shepherd and St. Andrew s). Once a candidate is approved, Vestry at St. Andrew s must approve. The Council at Good Shepherd must approve with a 2/3 majority, after which time, the congregation will vote. If a candidate can be identified, this process should take approximately 3-6 months. During the Calling Period, we will have a Supply Priest/Pastor to lead Sunday services and perform Communion. We will also employ a Pastor/Priest to supply Pastoral Care as needed. When Pastoral Care is needed, members will contact Council President Vic Aleshire or Senior Warden Bob Rea. If you have any questions regarding this process, please contact any member of Vestry, Council, or Covenant Council for further information.
