Newsletter: Looking forward to Vestry…

St Andrew’s Annual Vestry meeting

This month we’re getting ready for the annual meeting which takes place after the 10am service on the last Sunday of the month. We’ll be talking about three big issues which will be outlined in this newsletter in more detail over the coming weeks.

This week, I want to draw your attention to the new licensing process that the Diocese has put in place for lay ministry. I’ll direct your attention to the latest issue of the Topic (which is the Diocesan newspaper) for an article on the front page written by the Rev. Jessica Schapp. Please do consider if God is calling you into these kinds of ministries in the church!

Mark your calendars for some upcoming important dates:

Spiritual Retreat: the Spirituality of Aging - February 22, 1:30-4pm

Annual Vestry Meeting - February 23 after the 10am service at 11:15

Ash Wednesday - March 5 at 7pm

Family Eucharist - Saturday, March 29, 4:30-6pm

Annual Vestry Meeting - Feb 23, 11:15am

Please start thinking about our upcoming annual meeting. The issues we’ll be talking about are potential property development projects, licensed lay ministry, and staffing at the church. Stay tuned for more information on each of these issues!
