On behalf of the Council and the Nominating Committee I'd like thank all of you who agreed to serve the church as officers and committee members this coming year. The opportunities for this kind of service are meaningful because they give us a chance to continue to work together and make our church a place of welcome and joy for ourselves and for the community.
We hope to see you all at the Annual Meeting on April 23, after worship, when the congregation will have a chance to vote YES for all of you!
Thank you again, and thanks to the Nominating Committee for all of its good work.
