Dear Friends,

The Search Committee Development Group is now accepting applications on behalf of the Vestry for the committee to call the next permanent Rector.

Applicants will be presented by the Development Group to the Vestry, which will elect the Search Committee.  The deadline for applications is December 31st and the goal is to have the Committee in place by the end of January 2008.

You will find the application and a description of the duties and expectations by following this link:  http://stpaulsoakland.org/Misc/Rector_Search.pdf

I encourage all of you to consider applying to serve in this very important ministry.  This is a wonderful opportunity to help shape the future of St. Paul’s.

With Love,
Phil
