I hope your summer has been relaxed and enjoyable. The

start-up to fall activities is just around the corner.

The Self-Study Committee has been busy working on the

details and questions we need to create a Profile to search

for our next Rector. This process is designed to include

everyone participating in answering questions and being part

of congregational meetings. I cannot stress enough how

important it is for us to hear from you as we develop the

profile. 

Each week we have had a Question of the Week for

you to think about and respond. Knowing that many of you

have been away, we will have copies of all the questions for

you to answer. Mark September 19th on your calendar

when the Self-Study Committee will host a coffee hour to

hear your stories of St. David’s, and give you the opportunity

to express your wishes for our future path.

This may seem a little early to talk about Stewardship, but it

is something that is on the minds of vestry members. When

the Finance Committee meets to begin to develop the 2011

budget, they will have to include an amount to fund the

search process, and the eventual move of our new Rector; so

I ask you to keep that in mind as we begin that process.

Finally, I ask your prayers for St. David’s, for Pastor Beth, for

the Self-Study Committee, and for the next Rector of St.

David’s.

God’s Peace,
