This grant will support a three-month sabbatical for the Reverend Kevin Nichols, as well as a parish-wide Outreach Mission Project.

The Parish Renewal Project grant provides funds for St. Andrew’s to discern and design a long term, parish-wide outreach mission. The hope is this effort will lead to a permanent outreach mission project for the parish. Additionally, Kevin will embark on a formal study and research project entitled “Authority, Leadership, and Accountability – Lessons from Rome, Canterbury, and New Hampshire”. Interviews, travel in the United States, England and Italy, and a period of reflection and rest will form the core of his sabbatical time from May 23, 2012 to September 4, 2012.

Please see our November 2011 for more details.

Our Assistant Search Team deserves special thanks for their careful deliberations in the search for our second Assistant to the Rector. Additionally, I wish to thank our terrific vestry for their confidence and leadership during this process.

Katie will begin her ministry at St. Andrew’s on September 1, 2011. She has been contracted to work part-time initially with the hope that we can transition her towards full-time as our budget allows. Katie will graduate from Andover-Newton Theological School, Newton, MA, with a Masters of Divinity in May. She has an extensive background in education in teaching, administration, and coaching and is passionate about many areas of parish ministry. During seminary, she served as a chaplain intern at New Hampshire Psychiatric Hospital in Concord, working with adults, adolescents, and children, and was most recently a chaplain intern at Havenwood-Heritage Heights Retirement Community. In the summers, she serves as chaplain for the Advanced Studies Program at St. Paul’s School, Concord. Additionally, she lives on the campus of St. Paul’s School with her husband Tom and their three children, Riley (13), Theo (9) and Dulaney (3). We welcome the Solter family and look forward to Katie’s ministry among us. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Kevin+
