Annual Meeting
Annual Meeting is
THIS SUNDAY
, January 12th following the 10 am service. Lunch is provided. The menu consists of ham and cheese sliders to go along with the
sides and desserts brought by you
.
This meeting is held to discuss budgeting, both last years review and upcoming year and to say good-bye to our exiting vestry members. We will also be electing and introducing your incoming vestry members. This is also a good time to get caught up on the activities of the ministries in the organizational report and learn the needs of the ministries around you. Come for fellowship and be a part of the future of your church.
See you after Service!!

Pledge Envelopes
The pledge envelopes are available in the narthex. Please sign that you have picked up your envelopes on the envelope receipt sheet. Write your envelope number in the blank after your signature to confirm you have collected the correct box.
These are based on those persons who had envelopes last year
and/or requested them through their pledge cards.
IF:
- You had them last year, have been assigned them this year, but do NOT want them, please print “NO THANK YOU” on the signature line by your name.
- You did not request them via pledge card, but have decided you would like them, please contact Samantha in the office, preferably by email.
- You did request them, and your name is not on the list, please contact Samantha in the office, preferably by email.
Please do not just take a random box and write the number in the blank. We use this system to keep track of contributions and do not want crossed numbers.

Technological Difficulties
You may have tried emailing the office this week, and gotten a bounced message or never got a response. Or perhaps you attempted to access the website and/or the directory only for it to come up as unable to connect. Needless to say, we experienced some technological difficulties earlier this week. If you sent an email and did not receive a response for it, it is likely that it never came through.
However, through much problem solving, we are back up and running as normal. Please direct all communications to the email addresses listed at the bottom of this email.
Thank you very much for your patience!

AES is No Longer Collecting Newspaper
Thank you to all the parishioners who have faithfully donated newspaper in the past. The school has decided to provide service to the community in other ways and is no longer collecting the newspapers for CAPS. As we do not have recycling on campus (yet), we ask that you find a local recycling collection spot, if you do not have curbside for your newspaper.

Give the Gift of Sight
January is National Eye Month!
Constance O’Brien will be collecting eyeglasses, cases, sunglasses, frames, and lenses -- all things related to vision for donation and distribution in the US and around the world. The box for collection is locating in the narthex on the nametag table. She will take the collected materials on January 31 to the Lion’s Club. The box will become a fixture in the narthex for donations throughout the year.
But for now, let’s get that eyewear that’s been
hanging around the house and get it to the box!!

Outreach and Fill Box
Generosity booms over the holidays, but wanes in the months following. Don’t forget your WHAM non-perishable food donations, to join us for Lunch with Friends at the Mission of Yahweh, and at WHAM to assist in their pantry. The dates are listed on the church calendar and questions can always be directed to the office.

Sound Ministry
The sound ministry needs help! If you can operate a smart phone, you can operate the sound system. We need a minimum of three volunteers to help Kathleen, head of the sound ministry. Not sure if you can handle it, or if you'll like it. Talk to Kathleen, she can show you the ropes. Give it a test run.

(The cost is $100, which includes delivery.) All questions can be answered by Ann Burton (713) 782-6572.
