The Parish of St. Andrews made some history this summer.

“Nancy [Carson] did some digging,” said Jarred Beckerton, youth & family ministry leader in the parish. “This might be the first time All Saints has done a VBS.”

When Jarred was hired two years ago, VBS was on the list of things the parish wanted to try, so this summer seemed like the right time.

Bishop David has appointed the Rev. Christopher Ketch as incumbent in shared ministry between the Parish of Kent and the Parish of Lancaster, effective Oct. 1.

Chris will continue to reside in the Parish of Kent rectory but divide his time evenly between the two parishes, with a plan to full-time incumbency in Lancaster within two years.

The Parish of Riverview has an opening for a part-time bookkeeper.

The successful candidate will be proficient in Sage 50 accounting and prior experience
with a charity will be an asset. Monthly financial statements are required.

This retreat is intended to create a space for Godly Play® practitioners, Christian formation leaders, parents/guardians and anyone who is curious or desiring a time away, to live in a Godly Play way for 24 hours.

It is hoped that Godly Play practitioners will reconnect with one another along with expanding the circle to include those from various walks of life who are interested in the Spirituality of the Child, Christian formation of all ages and/or desire to experience Godly Play. In rekindling the stories of our faith we hope to reimagine how we can share these together and with all of the People of God we encounter daily.
