Annual Meeting and Luncheon
Our Annual Parish Meeting
is Sunday, January 27 after our worship service. As part of our meeting we will have elections for two slots on the Vestry, elect delegates to our Diocesan Convention and approve the 2019 budget. Current Vestry members Fred Hoogland and Dave Blake are eligible to run for a second term and both have indicated their willingness to run again. However, other nominees are welcomed.
This will also be a celebration of all that God has done
for us and through us in 2019. Nomination forms for Vestry and Diocesan convention delegates are available in the foyer or at the link below. A nursery will be available and a light lunch will be served.
