St. Stephen's Weekly Touchstone
The Third Sunday after Epiphany       
January 26, 2014 


This Sunday at 10 a.m. 



This Sunday our parish will be gathering after worship for our Annual Meeting.  This is a chance for us to come together, reflect on the past year and to dream of the year ahead.  The format for Sunday: we start with a shortened service, after which we will have a light breakfast. Then Vestry members will deliver short reports on special topics. We will also hold an election for the vestry.

 

We will celebrate the vestry terms that are ending -- Jerry Brown as Warden, and Mari-Anne Baumann and Carolyn Billet as vestry members. Carol Mortell is running for Warden, and Sharon Kane, Trina Fontaine and Doug Campbell are running for vestry.

 

Please join us for this important and informative gathering.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE: There will be no 5:30 Saturday service. We hope all Saturday churchgoers will attend the Sunday meeting.
