Welcoming our new Rector!

With grateful hearts and great anticipation, we welcome The Reverend Rita Powell, our new Rector, to St. Andrew’s Church. We give thanks to God for guiding our parish through the search process and for calling her as our new priest to serve among us.

The beginning of a new ministry is an exciting time of hope, discovery, and shared purpose. As we come to know one another, we invite every member of the parish to extend a warm welcome, to offer your prayers and encouragement, and to participate fully in the life and mission of our church. Together, may we continue to grow in faith, deepen our fellowship, and share Christ’s love with our community.

Please join us in welcoming Rita and her family and in praying for God’s abundant blessing upon this new chapter in the life of St. Andrew’s Church.

A message from your new Rector, The Rev. Rita Teschner Powell:

Come see me on Sunday or send me an email and let’s find a time to meet- I’d love to be shown your favorite walks, learn the best lunch spots or chat in my office. I’m looking forward to meeting all of you! 

Rev. Rita
