As a follow up to her fall presentation on sabbatical and sabbath practices, the Rev. Canon Cathie Caimano will host a Rector's Forum on Sunday, April 19th to continue the conversation. In addition to a brief recap on the practice of clergy sabbatical, Cathie will lead us into a consideration of ways in which we can all, individually and corporately, deepen our practices of spiritual rest. The forum will take place immediately following the 10:30am service.
As a supplement to the two Rector's Forums led by the Rev. Canon Cathie Caimano, the church leadership has created a simple sabbatical Q&A pamphlet for the congregation. Printed copies are available in the Narthex and electronic copy can be found by clicking
Please know that during Mark's absence, Sally Brower will fulfill all the clergy responsibilities of the parish, including pastoral crises and funerals.

During Mark's absence, all matters of church life will be handled by Sally, the parish staff and members of the Vestry. Thank you!
