The Diocese Gives Thanks for the Ministry of the Rev. Julie Murdoch

The Diocese gives thanks for the ministry of the Rev. Julie Murdoch, who has been serving as the interim associate rector at Emmanuel, Southern Pines.

Prior to serving at Emmanuel, Murdoch served in the Diocese of West Virginia. She and her family will continue to reside in the Diocese.

Gracious God, we thank you for the work and witness of your servant Julie, who has enriched this community and brought gladness to friends and family; now bless and preserve her at this time of transition. Guide her in the continued use of your gifts. Give her sustenance for temporal and spiritual needs, friends to cheer her way, and a clear vision of the ministry to which you are now calling her. By your Holy Spirit be present in her pilgrimage, that she may travel with the One who is the Way, the Truth, and the Life, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
