Vestry Nominations
Are you interested in helping to lead St. Luke's as we grow and develop? Do you know other members who would make good leaders?* In January, we will be electing 4 new vestry members, each for a 3-year term, and we are now accepting nominations. The twelve members of the vestry are charged with the care of the property and business of the church. Working with the rector, they exercise leadership in the development of the congregation. There will be a basket in the Narthex for nominations, or you can contact Caroline in the church office with your nominations. Requirements are: having been confirmed, at least 16 years of age, a giver of record, and have been a member of St. Luke's for at least 6 months.
There are 11 monthly meetings, generally on the third Tuesday of the month, and one vestry retreat on Feb. 27-28. Please make sure you are able to attend these scheduled events.
*Before nominating anyone to be on vestry, please make sure you have cleared this with that person first!

Relax on the Mountain
at Winter Interlude 1
With Thanksgiving and Christmas and all the seasonal hurry-scurry past, what woman or mother or wife doesn't need a weekend before a wood fire with friends, laughter, good food and perhaps a glass of wine?
