The Rev. Michael Guernsey Named Epiphany’s Associate Rector
I’m thrilled to announce that, with the confirmation of the vestry today (September 21), I have called the Rev. Michael Guernsey to be Epiphany’s new Associate Rector. Michael will start in this new position immediately.
Michael has more than proven his gifts in ministry and his commitment to Epiphany over his two years of service as our associate minister for discipleship. I’m very happy that he will move up to this position of increased responsibility and assist me in leading Epiphany.
”Faith, Hope and Love: Following Jesus in the Real World”
Being a Christian includes a call to a certain kind of life as a response to God’s grace in Jesus Christ – one shaped by Faith, Hope and Love (1 Corinthians 13.13), but how do we live that kind of life, and who can we learn from as we travel that way at home and at work here in Northern Virginia? Dr. Phil Harrold, associate professor of church history at Trinity seminary will be our guide Oct. 24-26 as we spend time together considering this question at this year’s parish weekend.
