Our most sincere
thanks to our Pastoral Team
Since the retirement of the Reverend Albany S.K. To, our Founding Rector,
the Our Savior parish has been guided by a Pastoral Team under the leadership
of the Reverend Dr. Winston Ching. It has been truly a blessing to have
the opportunity to grow spiritually under a diversity of styles and perspectives,
both theological and pastoral. While we move toward another era in the
history of Our Savior with new pastoral leadership, the members of the
Pastoral Team will always be part of the Our Savior family.
We offer our thanksgiving
for the ministry of:
The Reverend Dr. Winston W. Ching
The Reverend David P. Barrie
The Reverend Mary F. Grambsch
In the past the Reverend
Craig Bustrin, Brother Clark Berge, SSF, the Reverend Philip Wong, the
Reverend Barbara Crafton and The Reverend Canon Carmen Guerrero have also
ministered to us through their gifts, wisdom and spiritual depth. We salute
them as well.
The Reverend
Dr. Winston W. Ching has announced his retirement as the Officer
for Episcopal Asiamerica Ministry of the national church at the end of
December 2002. He has served in that capacity for the past 29 years, and
has contributed much to the development and growth of Our Savior during
his tenure. We look forward to a new working relationship in his retirement.
Our pastoral team,
lead by The Rev. Dr. Winston Ching have been ministering to Church of
Our Savior for the past eight years. We have been privileged to grow spiritually
under a variety of different styles and perspectives both theological
and pastoral. Although we are moving into a different stage of Pastoral
Leadership, we will always see our pastoral team as members of our family.
We offer our most
sincere gratitude for our Pastoral Team:
The Rev. Dr. Winston Ching
The Rev. David Barrie
The Rev. Mary Grambsch
The Rev. Dr. Winston
Ching has announced his retirement at the end of last year. We thank Fr.
Ching for his 29 years of ministry as the Officer for Episcopal Asiamerica
Ministry. In the past 3 decades, he has contributed much to the growth
and development of Our Savior. We also look forward to his continual work
with us in his retirement.
Support Our
Companion Diocese
Episcopal Church of Our Savior has a companion diocese with the Diocese
of Southwestern Brazil, The Rt. Rev. Jubal Pereira Neves, Bishop. In 2002,
we’ve raised a couple thousand dollars for the outreach ministry
of that diocese. We invite you to read more about the diocese. Donations
are welcomed and can be sent to either Our Savior or the Diocese directly.
