UPCOMING EVENTS

Annual Meeting and Call for Vestry Nominations: Vestry Elections are coming up on Sunday, Jan. 31 as part of our Annual Meeting. We will be electing four new vestry members for the 2016-2019 term, as well as a youth vestry member for a one year term.

Nomination forms and qualification details are available at the volunteer desk in the church office or  as a PDF here.

The deadline to submit a nomination form is Wednesday, Jan. 6 at noon. Nomination forms must be accompanied by a photo of the nominee. Please email the photo and completed form to Amanda Vaughn by Wednesday, Jan. 20.

Eligibility for the office of vestry member is determined by: Constitution and Canons of the Episcopal Church in the Diocese of Atlanta, Canon 31, Section 6.(d).(1).

"Those qualified for election to the office of Vestry Member shall be as follows: Any confirmed communicant in good standing of the Parish who is not less than eighteen years of age, a regular attendant at the services of the Church in the year preceding election, and known by the Treasurer to have made and fulfilled a stated financial commitment for church support in the year preceding election."

To nominate someone for the office of vestry member, as well as to be eligible to vote in the election, you must be: "confirmed communicant(s) (sic) in good standing not less than sixteen years of age as certified by the Rector or Vicar or the Vestry. Those voters so qualified and being present at the meeting shall constitute a quorum." Canon 31, Section 4.


Centering Prayer: We will not meet on Dec. 24, 28, or 31.

Peachtree Pine Ministry Needs Volunteers: We are in our 17th year of taking dinner to the Peachtree-Pine shelter. The need has been constant and our capacity to fulfill the need requires a regular infusion of new volunteers. Now is such a time. We need a couple new chefs to help with dinner preparation on third Tuesdays of each month...and we need a couple more volunteers to help serve dinner on both first and third Tuesdays. If you want to help, please contact David White at (770)310-3307 or by email @ Handcrafted_construction@yahoo.com
