RECTOR TRANSITION
About the Rector Search Process
St. Peter’s Church is in a rector transition period. In February, the Rev. Dr. Clarke French was appointed Priest-in-Charge, and we are currently in a period of discernment. St. Peter’s congregation recently participated in a series of Listening Sessions and a Parish Visioning Survey to help us through this process. After those conversations, the St. Peter’s Parish Profile Committee created a document that describes who we are, who we want to be, and what sort of parish God is calling us to be. You can read the Parish Profile online here.
Search Prayer
Holy and immortal God, who has blessed and sustained us through the years, we stand before you at a time of transition in the life of St. Peter’s Church. We seek your guidance and help to lead us in the direction that will help us fulfill the life-giving ministry of your Church. Protect us from seeking our own will and all that prevents us from following where you may lead. Instill in us a right spirit of love and acceptance. Lead us to a faithful priest and pastor who will care for us and equip us for our ministries. And when we have discerned your will for us, give us the strength and courage to accept it and the resources to accomplish it. All this we ask in the name of your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen
