Pray and Recruit

10/15/2015

 
St. Mark’s Search for a new rector is officially public! The Rev. Lou Blanchard, Canon Missioner to the Bishop’s office, has announced the open position at St. Mark’s at a meeting of leaders from other Dioceses across the US.  She will post the portfolio (job description and narrative) and the profile (the longer, more informative document about our church) to the national church this week.
 
As the Search Committee prepares for reviewing resumes and interviewing candidates, we ask you to pray. Now is the time we ask God to open the ears, minds and hearts of potential candidates to our call, and we ask God to move them to act.
 
Under the maxim that God helps those who help themselves, we also encourage you to recruit candidates who might be interested.  Many priests find a new church by word of mouth, not by a listing on the national jobs-available list. Speak with priests you know and ask if they know of possible candidates.  If you know someone directly, ask them if they are interested.
 
The information you will need is:
  1. St. Mark’s is looking for an ordained Episcopal priest for a full-time position, starting in mid-2016.
  2. The portfolio (job description) will be posted on the Diocese of Colorado website.
  3. The profile can be accessed on the front page of St. Mark’s website.
  4. All applications must go to the Rev. Lou Blanchard, Canon Missioner, Diocese of Colorado. LBlanchard@ColoradoDiocese.org
  5. Applications will be received until November 25, 2016.
The Search Committee extends a sincere thank you to the 35+ people who reviewed, commented, edited, and proof-read the profile and portfolio. Your assistance and support was needed and appreciated.

Ellen
