Rector Transition
O God, our refuge and strength, our ever-present help in times of change: Grant to St. Michael’s an abiding sense of your guidance. Comfort those who grieve, steady those who are anxious, and inspire those who dream. May we trust your leading, knowing that your Spirit never ceases to move among us. Strengthen our clergy, lay leaders, staff, and all who minister here. Prepare the heart of our next rector, even as you prepare us to receive them. May this time be one of renewal, unity, and deepened faith. We ask this through Jesus Christ, who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Amen.
