The Rector Search Committee (RSC) wishes to keep members of the congregation informed of the steps we are undertaking as we seek a new rector for All Saints. Broadly speaking, the process is divided into three phases:

• Phase I is focused on creating a profile of All Saints' and the communities served;
• Phase II is focused on creating a parish narrative --including history and identity, hopes and aspirations, challenges and opportunities -- that will guide our thinking regarding the experience and characteristics desired in the next rector;
• Phase III is focused on getting the word about our search out to potential candidates, gathering of resumes by the Diocese and the interview process. 

The Search Committee expects the total process to take 18 to 24 months. For the remainder of the summer and into the fall, the RSC is the midst of the Phase I. At last Sunday's meeting, committee members divided into various sub-committees in order to accomplish myriad tasks: prepare community, church program, and congregational profiles; interview other community leaders; profile and interview leaders of other church and religious organizations in the community; prepare an All Saints history and identity profile; and identify potential use of social media.

We appreciate your faith in committee members and the process. We will continue to keep you abreast of our progress and will be looking to you for input along the way!

The LIFE Ministries Food Pantry Garden is in need of volunteers to help pick the produce that is now coming in. Beans, zucchini, cucumbers, tomatoes are ready now with peppers, carrots, potatoes, and onions coming along well. Volunteers meet Sunday, Tuesday, and Friday mornings about 8:30 and pick for an hour or two, depending on the number of volunteers. If you could come by even once, you'd be helping to give a needy neighbor some healthy fresh vegetables. Please call Susan Poirier at 569-0236 for more information or directions.

I would like to thanksgiving everyone who helped the jewelry area sell so well. First I must mention Kit Peterson along with donating (always a help as this wouldn't happen without donations!) but Kit also suggested Maureen Kalfa. Maureen is an expert on antiques and estate jewelry, she helped so much. Maureen not only helped with pricing, she purchased several pieces and offered to put on e- bay some of our better pieces that didn't sell and giving us the money!!!!

Also, Lynne Slocome who has done so much this year and every year -- Lynne bless you and thank you so much. Margaret Barnes and her granddaughter, Natalie - they both worked so hard on all aspects of jewelry - thank you both so much! Prue in the midst of her very, very busy life not only worked hard but was incredibly helpful - thank you my dear friend. Last but not least my favorite helper, Donna Young.
