The Diocese Welcomes the Rev. Morris K. Thompson III as Rector of Emmanuel, Southern Pines

The diocese welcomes the Rev. Morris K. Thompson III as the new rector of Emmanuel, Southern Pines. Thompson most recently served as the rector of the Mediator in Meridian, Mississippi, for the last seven years. He earned his undergraduate degree from Mississippi State University and his M.Div. from Virginia Theological Seminary. We welcome Thompson; his wife, Emily; and their children to North Carolina!

Everliving God, strengthen and sustain Morris that with patience and understanding he may love and care for your people; and grant that together they may follow Jesus Christ, offering to you their gifts and talents; through him who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen
