Some members of the Search Committee will have the additional opportunity to serve on the Profile Committee, helping to define what Annunciation is all about and where its parishioners would like it to go. As for financing the search phase, the goal is for the parish to cover all expenses of the search. Of course, it would be well to keep those expenses to a minimum. A s already noted, the task is important and will take time, time to meet on Sundays to develop the church profile, time to review resumes of candidates, visit their churches, interview the final candidates, time to discuss findings with co-members, and time to discover for yourself what you and the church and the people with whom you worship are all about. It will be worth the effort.
Important jobs are usually the most satisfying.
P lease get in touch with one of the Vestry or with The Rev. Schembs if you're interested. There were bags of seeds variously marked Hatred, Fear, Doubt, Despair, Unforgiveness, Pride, Greed, etc. T he devil appeared and struck up a conversation with the traveler. He gleefully told the traveler how easily the seeds he sowed sprouted in the hearts of men and women. A melancholy look appeared on the devil's face.
