Here's what we've been up to: Posted May 2, 2012

- We had our initial meeting with Chi and Julie (our Wardens) to reconvene the search

- We met with Reverend Canon Greg Jacobs, Canon to the Ordinary for the Diocese of Newark, to discuss the search process 

- We held Parish Conversations and gathered Parish Surveys to aide in the development of the Addendum to our Parish Profile and our Office of Transition Ministries (OTM) Portfolio

- Based on the Conversations and Surveys we put together the Addendum and OTM Portfolio (see a link to the Addendum and the Original Parish Profile below)

- We put together a Biography on Bishop Paul Moore which has been added to the GCVV website

- We presented the Addendum and OTM Portfolio to the Vestry, which they in turn approved

- We submitted the Addendum and OTM Portfolio to the Canon, who is reviewing it
