The Installation of Julie Bryant as our Rector

On a joy filled afternoon in late January, our entire church, along with her family, local and visiting clergy, the Rt. Rev. Chester Talton, Bishop Suffragan of Los Angeles,  witnessed and participated in the installation of the Rev. Julie Diane Bryant, DMin as the fourth rector of the Episcopal Church of the Transfiguration in Arcadia California.
 
These pictures capture a bit of the occasion but could never fully relive the warmth, the Spirit's presence and the just plain fun that were a part of that event.
