Dear Friends,
I am overwhelmed with emotion and gratitude for the outpouring of kind words and support since last week’s announcement of my upcoming retirement. I am profoundly thankful for your encouragement, appreciation, and love.
But, dear ones, there is still much to do — nine more months to serve together as the people of Trinity Church. As we enter this time of transition, we will not be idle, but rather this will be a season of reflection, discernment, and preparation.
With that in mind, it is my great pleasure to introduce our new Associate Rector, the Rev. Stephen Connor. Stephen is already part of our Trinity community. He and his husband, Ron, have been members of our church for many years. He will be joining Kara and me as a much-needed third priest on our staff.
Onward, dear ones! There is work to be done, prayers to be lifted, songs to be sung, love to be shared, and Good News to be proclaimed.
Peace and Blessings!
Paul+
