All parishioners attending the brunch are asked to bring a side dish or dessert to share. Baked ham and coffee/tea will be provided.

At the Annual Meeting, I will conclude three consecutive years of service as Senior Warden. I have also been Senior Warden for five of the last six years, serving during the tenure of two priests, and now, during the current time, while the parish is "between rectors". Without doubt, the most significant event during that time has been the COVID pandemic, and St. Andrew's recovery from it. 

There is widespread concern throughout organized religious communities, of all faiths and denominations, about the shape of the post-COVID, "new normal." I am pleased to be able to say that St. Andrew's has recovered well from COVID, in terms of attendance, membership, finances, and most importantly, the vitality of its community.  

Please join us at the Annual Meeting tomorrow, when we will gather as the body of Christ to reflect on the events of the last year, and to select new lay leadership.
