Because of the scheduling of four weekend services, two of which are simultaneous, I celebrated and/or preached at two each weekend. • Served as the priest-in-charge when the interim rector left and before the new rector arrived at All Saints (December 2007 – February 2008). • Managed the day-to-day operations of All Saints’ one week a month while the rector was in Memphis, Tennessee until his wife was able to relocate to Frederick (February 2008 – July 2009). • Elected to serve as the Frederick Area Regional Council Representative of the Diocese of Maryland to Diocesan Council (August 2010 – July 2011). • Clergy representative on the worship committee. I approved the liturgies for all services at All Saints’ (December 2006 – July 2011). • Managed and scheduled the clergy rota for five weekly services at All Saints’. This includes scheduling supply clergy (January 2008 – July 2011). • Provided ongoing pastoral care to homebound parishioners and trained Eucharistic Visitors and lay chaplains. • Offered pastoral care to Trinity School of Frederick (All Saints' day school) by leading chapel services and being available to faculty, staff, and families of students. • Education for Ministry (EfM) mentor (2006 – July 2011).
