Mutual Study of Ministry: As part of our Letter of Agreement among St. Andrew & John, St. Saviour, Father Tim and the Diocese, we have committed to participating in a Mutual Study of Ministry process after eighteen months together. Both Vestries met with Canon Missioner Heidi Shott on Sunday, January 12 to begin this process. The next steps will
involve one-on-one interviews conducted by vestry members with parishioners representing a cross-section of both congregations to discuss our experience of our shared ministry over the last year and a half. If you receive a phone call in the next month asking to schedule an interview, please try to be generous with your time and opinions: it will be very helpful. Not everyone will be interviewed, but if you want to make sure your views are heard, you may volunteer for an interview by contacting your warden (Pamela Smith, Sr. Warden (St. Saviour); Bunny Watts, Sr. Warden (St. Andrew & John); Linda Foster, Jr. Warden (St. Saviour); Jr. Warden (St. Andrew & John) to be elected today).
