Our Vestry appointed and commissioned the search committee in July 2020 to find and
recommend a Rector for Emmanuel. Vestry selected a team that represents the diversity and
spirit of our congregation. It will seek candidates for the position of Rector, advertise the
position and review applications and nominations. It will review supporting documents and
references, and interview applicants with the goal of recommending [one or more candidates]
to our Vestry for the final responsibility for the selection or appointment.

O, God, open our ears, our hearts, and our minds to discern your will and follow the movement
of your spirit in our search for our new rector. Grant us wisdom and patience to embody the
serving mind of Christ in our common task. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit. Amen.
