It is with a great deal of pleasure that the Discernment Team and the Vestry announce that The Rev. Paul Allick has been called to be the seventh Rector of St. George’s Episcopal Church.
A little over one year ago, Father Paul Allick came to St. George’s as Priest in Charge. He was very down to earth and his sermons were easy to listen to and understand. It seemed that all of us were almost instantly comfortable with him. He quietly went about his work which included Gospel Based Discipleship, feast-day services, teaching, calling on the shut-ins and hospitalized, a joint confirmation class with two other Episcopal churches and facilitating a Newcomer Committee, to name just some of what he has done in his time here. He showed us how much we can learn from the Book of Common Prayer, and he emphasized the role of the baptized and the laity in the church. And he encouraged those who weren’t baptized or confirmed to consider taking steps to receive those sacraments which many have already done.
