During times of clergy leadership transitions, vestry leadership is of particular importance.
David Allen, Senior Warden, has hit the ground running already. Over the coming months, David will communicate closely with the Diocesan staff to arrange for clergy coverage after Giulianna’s departure on May 17th.
David, along with the whole vestry, will begin the groundwork toward an upcoming search for a new rector. You are invited to offer prayer for David, and for the entire vestry as they seek to discern the next right steps for St. Stephen’s.
On March 29th, the vestry will gather from 2-5pm for a time of retreat. This gathering will be led by Mrs. Alice Perry. Alice, a Jackson native and parishioner at St. James Episcopal Church, is a trained search consultant who came highly recommended by the Diocese.
