Happy New Year! I hope 2012 brings with it health, hope and joy.
A new calendar year at St. Peter's means that the Annual Meeting is just around the corner. The Annual Meeting is an important part of our common life together and I encourage you to come and be part of the day. On January 22nd, we will worship together, feast together and then do some business together.
I hope that, in addition to whatever delicious treat you may feel called to bring to our potluck, you'll also bring with you a memory. Part of our time together will include space to briefly hear from people one particular St. Peter's memory or moment from 2011 that was important to you or brought you delight. Maybe it was attending a Civil Union or perhaps a choir anthem. Maybe you heard the Scripture in a new way or experienced God in serving a meal to someone who was hungry. I believe our stories help us hear anew who we are.
Peace,
Sarah+

The St. Peter's Annual Meeting is January 22nd
Immediately following the 11AM Eucharist, parishioners will convene in the Guild Room for a potluck brunch and the annual meeting. The Annual Meeting is the time we do some of the yearly business and governance of the church. Important business includes the election of new members of the vestry and delegates to next year's Diocesan Convention. Mark your calendar for the meeting and plan to bring a dish for the potluck.
Please note: Committee Reports are now due for inclusion in the 2011 Annual Report. If you have not submitted a report for your committee or event please do this today so that the report may be prepared in time for the Parish Annual Meeting on January 22nd. Submit reports to the Parish Office.
