Greetings,
On Sunday, January 30, we will have our first parish meeting in our newly renovated sanctuary. This will mark an important transition in our life together as we form the Advisory Board the will address our future.
Since the pandemic and the sale of the adjacent lot, we have built the physical structure of this church. We are now redirecting our work, as we assess our worship and develop our hospitality and presence in the community. In this new time, we will be watering the seeds we have planted and seeing what sorts of roots will grow in the soil where we inhabit.
For every time there is a season, the prophet writes. We have experienced one very long season with the pandemic and the new space. And now we enter another, one during which HTC can receive and enhance its blessings, with a newfound confidence in what we offer. On Sunday, new leadership will take the helm to listen, respond, and implement what God has in plan for us.
I will open the meeting at 10:30am before the procession. We begin the meeting with our Eucharist. After the service, we will have refreshments, announce the parish election results, share reports, and discuss. I’ll have some questions for you on newsprint that will allow for self-reflection as a group. We will install our new Advisory Board and say a prayer for the dead before being dismissed. It will all be livestreamed on our Facebook page.
I am going to make an effort to bake scones or cream biscuits for Coffee Hour. Let me know if you are also interested in bringing homemade treats.
I look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
Blessings,
