2018
Annual Meeting
Well, it almost that “Favorite Time of the Year” for
Episcopalians---THE ANNUAL MEETING. This year our Annual Meeting will be held
on Sunday January 21, 2018, after the 10 am Eucharist. As we prepare, there
will be a couple of changes that we want to make you aware. It has been my
custom, on the day of the Annual Meeting, to replace the Sermon with the
Rector’s Address. In addition, this year we will not print all the various
reports from committees and ministries. The reason for this is to save trees; we
are trying to be good Stewards of God’s Creation. We will publish and post
them. If any of the heads of committees and ministries wish to, they can
deliver a verbal report. If you have any questions or concerns please feel free
to contact me at any time.
Peace and All Good,
Fr. Mike
