There will be only one service on August 4 and it will be at 10:00 am. There will be no 9:15 Adult Ed that day. The reason for the change in time is because Canon Sally Ullrey from the Bishop’s staff will be at Holy Family to explain the results of the survey 140 of us took in preparation for the new rector. Canon Ullrey will speak for approximately 30 minutes and will have a short amount of time for Q&A. 

Remember! Put it on your calendar! Put a string around your finger! Tell Siri 10:00 am Service, August 4.

Also, the Nominating Committee will be available on August 11 between the services to answer any questions that folks may have about the survey results. The Nominating Committee encourages all parishioners to come to both special events. –Steve Franzen, Martha Power, Scott Armentrout, Winship Durrett, Ric Sanchez, Cammie Cox, Allan DeNiro and Jeannine Krenson. 

On August 4 Canon Sally Ulrey will present to the congregation highlights of the CAT survey we filled out in May. There will be only one service that day. Canon Ulrey’s interpretation will be at the end of the 10:30 service.

On August 11 at 9:15 between the two services the Nominating Committee will host a round table discussion with parishioners who would like to ask questions and/or give opinions regarding the results of the survey and the search for our new rector.

The nominating committee and vestry met jointly on June 25 with Canon Sally Ulrey to hear her interpretation of the CAT survey that we all took in May. It was a very informative meeting. Canon Ulrey will return to Holy Family in early August after the 10:30 service to highlight the survey findings. Watch for the actual date!

Your nominating committee is hard at work with a scheduled joint meeting of the nominating committee and the vestry on June 25 to hear the interpretation of the Church Assessment Tool (CAT) from Canon Sally Ultrey from the Bishop’s office. Sally will also return to Holy Family one of the two first Sundays in August for a congregational meeting after the 10:30 service to share highlights of the survey with the parish.
