** The Church of St. Anne, Morrison is seeking a full time Rector who shares their Anglo-Catholic identity and ethos, who has a passion for growth and community involvement, and who can help them grow spiritually. Pastoral care and strong preaching are also highly sought skills. Please refer to the Clergy Openings page of our Diocesan website for more information and to apply.

Please be generous and help these people in great need. Food items are not needed, but appreciated.
