Fellow Parishioners:

 

It is said that good things come to those who wait! Your Search Committee always believed that God had a plan for us and knew who He wanted to be our next Rector, we just had to find him or her. The long wait is finally over. 

 

I am writing to share with you the happy and joyous news that we have a new Rector. Reverend Leslie Ferguson Horvath has accepted the call to be our Rector and Spiritual Leader.

Reverend Horvath or Sister Fergie, as she is affectionately known, comes to us with many years of experience. From 2009-2019 she served as a Deacon with St. Christopher’s Episcopal Church in Spartanburg, SC and also the Convocation Deacon for 8 churches in the Piedmont Convocation. Her responsibilities included outreach, preaching, teaching, pastoral care, diaconal duties in liturgy. Visited the 8 churches in the Piedmont Convocation 1-2 times a year and created convocation outreach and mission trip opportunities, preached and taught Christian Formation. 

 

Sister Fergie has also been a presenter at Diocesan Convention, preacher at Clergy Conference, worked with Disaster Response/Trauma Care, Ecclesiastical Board, Matthew 25 Committee, Diocesan Mission Trip Planner and Coordinator, Diocesan Disaster Response Unit, Bishop Search Committee and Diocesan Cantor for Diocesan liturgies, which she still is. She has also written for the Faith and Values Column which is a weekly column in the Spartanburg Herald Journal and Chaplain for the Spartanburg County Sheriff’s Office. 

 

Sister Fergie felt the calling to become a priest and at the present, is a student at Virginia Theological Seminary in Alexandria, VA from which she will graduate in May, 2022. While there she has been a bell chimer, was part of Field Placement Education, Instructor for new deacons, Deacon in the Liturgy and Chaplain- Jr. Class.

 

After graduation, she and her husband, Gary  will make their home in Greer and she will begin her position at Good Shepherd on July 1, 2022. 

 

We are so very blessed to say that the Reverend Leslie (Fergie) Ferguson Horvath will be our Rector and thank God for bringing us together.

 

We also thank you all for your continued prayers and your patience through this search process and for your continued support. 

Take Care
