New Survey to help further define who we
are
The Discernment Committee has prepared a survey
based on input from the focus groups to further
clarify and quantify information about our
parish that will help us in writing our church
profile. The survey will be emailed to all
members who have email addresses listed in the
church directory. For those who have not
provided email addresses, we will mail paper
copies of the survey. In addition, paper
copies of the survey will also be available in
the foyer of the church. Please take the
time to complete the survey. It will
provide much needed (and quantifiable)
information about our parish's values, concerns,
and wishes for the future of our church.
If you have any questions about the survey,
please contact Dawn Odell at
dvo@lclark.edu
or 503-788-2072.

rector at All Saints
Almighty God, we thank you for your steadfast
presence with us as we seek a faithful pastor to
lead All Saints parish.
Guide the deliberations of the
discernment and search committees.
Open our ears to hear your voice and to
listen to one another.
Open our eyes to see the path ahead with
clarity and discernment and to follow you in all
things.
Open our hearts to the truth of your will
for this congregation.
Help us to put aside all selfish desires
and grant us energy for the journey, patience
with the process, and courage in decision
making. Send your Holy Spirit into our midst to
bless and strengthen us and to call the shepherd
priest that you have prepared for us.
In the name of your Son, our Lord and
Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray.
Amen.
