Rector Search
Join us in prayer as we search for a new rector/dean.
Pray for Our Rector Search Process
If you’re a regular attendee of Resurrection, we need your participation in our Rector Search process. While it is the Search Committee’s job to lead the logistics of our rector search process, it is the work of our whole congregation to pray over this process.
Wednesday, March 12, 6:30-8pm
An Evening of Prayer for the Rector Search
Join us to intercede together for the Rector Search process in All Saints Chapel.
Commit to an hour of prayer
We invite you to sign up for a one-hour prayer slot this Lent to cover the Rector Search Process in prayer. We encourage you to come to All Saints Chapel for your prayer hour if possible. Feel free to pray individually or to bring your family, RezGroup, or friends. As you pray, listen for any words the Lord may have for Resurrection in this season of waiting and for the future.
If you sense that the Lord has given you a word, Scripture passage, or image to share, email it to the Search Committee at rectorsearch@churchrez.org. They will compile them in order to discern the Lord’s leading and read them as a source of encouragement.
