All Saints' said farewell to Interim Rector, Fr. Joseph Gohn and

welcomed our new Vicar, Don Smith and his family, on June 10 when Bishop Don Johnson confirmed Ron and Marian Stidham.

A reception was held in the parish hall following the well attended service.

Gifts were given to Fr. Gohn as we said farewell to a wonderful friend and spiritual leader who has faithfully served this parish for almost 8 months. As Sr. Warden, Marty Bullard, said, "Fr. Gohn, next week you will still be gone, but not forgotten."

Our new Vicar was given a picture taken by Christi Shaw on the day of his ordination to the deaconate at St. Mary’s Cathedral. And the Bishop received a special box of Sherry's delicious "Bishop" cookies.

We especially thank Laura Dunavant and the ECW for preparing our festive reception.
