2021 ANNUAL MEETING

Sunday, August 29
at 5:00PM
via Zoom



Dear St. Mary's Friends,

The Annual Meeting of the parish will be held on Sunday, August 29th, at 5:00PM, via Zoom. Please join us as we mark another year in the life of this congregation and look forward to the future into which God is calling us.

During the meeting, we will also elect four new Vestry members (three year-round members and one seasonal member). In preparation for this Annual Meeting, we have undertaken a season of discernment with leaders in the parish who feel called to Vestry service. After a time of intentional and prayerful consideration, four individuals have answered God's call to serve on the Vestry for the next three years. Information about these four individuals is below. Please continue to remember each of them in your prayers.
