The next in a series of irregular updates to the parish.
February 12, 2020
From Sr. Warden Kerry Nelson
I want to inform the Parish about actions taken at last night’s Vestry meeting.
After three months of work and numerous hours of research, conversations and discernment, members of our Consolidation Team — Rosemary Caspar, Cliff Athorn, Tony Morley, The Rev. William Heisley and myself — along with Transition Coordinator Ruth Anne Olson, presented the Team’s recommendation to the Vestry.
By unanimous agreement the Consolidation Team recommends that St. James
develop a consolidation plan with St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Minneapolis.
The Team answered questions as to how they arrived at its conclusion. The Vestry then voted to accept the recommendation.
By the end of this week, all members of St. James will receive additional information regarding this important decision. Please plan on attending the Parish Conversation on February 23

at
9 AM to learn more. See the sample ballot below and watch for detailed information on voting procedures.
Thank you to the Consolidation Team for its hard work in arriving at this important recommendation for the future of St. James.
