Dear friends,

            I am eagerly looking forward to being with you for our first Eucharist together on Sunday August 2!

            The weeks since my ordination have been passing quickly. During this time, Jen, Betty and Fr. Don have been helping me learn more about Resurrection, and introduced me to some of the parishioners whose ministries I will rely on as your new Priest-in-Charge.

            In the coming weeks and months, I look forward to getting to know all of you and discerning together how we can deepen our relationship with God, serve Christ together and make a difference in the parish, the Clarkston community, and each other’s lives.

            Until then, I thank you, the Search Committee, the Vestry, Bishop Bonnie and her staff for all the trust and support that I am blessed to have been given in this new adventure.

            See you on the 2^nd!

            Gratefully,

            Fr. Joe
