First, please let me know if you need any pastoral care or visitations this summer. Because Fr. Fred knew you so much better than I do, he could anticipate your needs in a way that I cannot. If you are in the hospital or find yourself in some kind of crisis, call the office or my home or Fr. Mann.

Second, please address all your comments and questions about the process of finding a new rector to the Vestry. They are the ones who are organizing and overseeing it. Bishop Mathes will be here to talk with us about it on Thursday evening, June 28, at 6:30. And, Canon Jenny Vervynck has scheduled workshops on the process for Saturday morning July 7 from 9:00 to 11:30, Wednesday evening July 25 from 6:30 to 9:00, and Sunday July 29 from 11:00 to 1:30 (pick one).

Third, please continue to support the church financially during the summer. Many churches experience a significant dip in their offerings during the summer because people are on vacation. Yet the expenses continue even though you may not be around. We need your continued generous support as a congregation for the next few months.

Fourth, please pray regularly for the future of St. Dunstan’s, for the work of our Vestry, for your Priest-in-Charge, for the Diocese, and for the whole Anglican Communion as we face major issues.

Fr. David Montzingo
