Join us Sunday to talk more about the work of EDOW’s Task Force on Reparations, which was commissioned by Bishop Budde to help the diocese and its churches “recognize, wrestle with, and attempt to make restitution for its history and participation in white supremacy and anti-Black racism.” In addition, we will review the book A New Reality: Human Evolution for A Sustainable Future, by Jonas and Jonathan Salk, and consider their premise that as population growth slows and plateaus, we need move to an era of cooperation, long range thinking, and interdependence. Please join us in person or via Zoom at 10 a.m. for this timely presentation and discussion.

Remember the growlers! Your brew crew's great beers are going fast, so pick one up after the service on Sunday!

Our 2023 Annual Meeting is scheduled for 10 a.m. on Sunday, February 12, in the Parish Hall (& via Zoom.) At this meeting, we will revisit the successes of 2022, and look ahead to our goals & budget for the coming year. If you can make it, please do! In preparation, please take a look at the following:

• 2023 Voting Member list. While we count all of you as integral parts of our community, Diocesan guidelines dictate that only active baptized members over the age of 16 may vote at the annual meeting. If you have any questions, please reach out to Jordan.
• Biographies of the proposed 2023 Vestry class. Thanks to the illustrious parishioners who have offered to engage more deeply in church affairs as Vestry members. We will vote on the class during our meeting.
• Committee Charters. These charters, written by our three committees & approved by our Vestry in 2022, will govern the Finance, Outreach & Property committees moving forward, and increase transparency about each.
