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.
Last week, I drew your attention to the new licensing process that the Diocese has put in place for lay ministry. This week, I’m giving you early access to the report of our St Andrew’s Property Development team. The team this year was made up of Andrew, Brian, Alison, Clarke & Gabby (with some input from Judi at the beginning of the year). Click the link below to read about what we discussed and decided over the year.
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
We’re asking people to plan to bring some finger foods to share at the Vestry meeting. We have to keep our strength up as we plan for the future of the church!
Last few days to buy seeds!
Please support our children’s ministry with a purchase of seeds for your garden! If you don’t have a garden, we could use lots of wildflower seeds to help cover up bare spot in at the church where the brambles used to be!
