RECTOR SEARCH COMMITTEE
Town Hall Meeting #1, Sunday, June 22, 11:30 am – 1 pm
Please come and join us for this important beginning to the process of selecting a new rector. The Search Committee will be updating our parish profile that describes who we are as a congregation, the community we live in and characteristics we are looking for in our next rector. The purpose of this town hall meeting, and others to come, is to gather from each of you as many perspectives and opinions as possible on who we are and our hopes for the future. This profile will be posted along with a job description to give candidates an accurate picture of Epiphany and is critical in securing a rector who will be a good fit. We need input from every Epiphany member. Please come and be ready to discuss what Epiphany is to you and what characteristics you would like to see in our new rector. The discussions will take place in small group format so that everyone can be heard. Childcare and light snacks will be provided.
If you are unable to attend this important event there will be another town hall meeting to be scheduled in the second half of July.

Can You Help
Our Companion Parish needs help Starting its sewing co-op and
school. Padre Mario, the priest of our companion parish La Divina Providencia,
has mentioned two specific things that would greatly help his parishioners: starting
a sewing co-op and starting an Anglican grade school. Estela Roldan will be
traveling to El Maizal this summer to help with the sewing co-op. Although
there is a limit on how much she will be able to carry, Estela would be happy
to receive items such as fabric shears, thread, pins, and simple patterns to
start the women on their way. She would also like to take a sewn banner
proclaiming our companion relationship and good wishes with her to give to LDP.
If anyone would like to help make this banner a reality, please let Estela
know. estela...@yahoo.com
Padre Mario has also requested help equipping the Pre-K class for the Anglican primary school.If you would like to help start this classroom, please make a donation to Epiphany with a notation that it is for Project El Salvador or Account Number 9365.
