From the Rector

Dear Friends,

This coming Sunday, January 18, please make every effort to be in church and afterward attend our annual meeting in Bentley Hall. Once again, members of the vestry will be providing a sumptuous brunch for one and all.

At the meeting, we will be presented with the budget that the vestry has adopted for 2026, as well as with reports from various committees, the music department, and the rector. And, very importantly we will elect one churchwarden and three vestry members. We have some very talented newcomers and returnees on the slate.

We will also say a proper thank you to those whose terms have reached their limits or who will not be seeking reelection. Outgoing vestry members include: Calvin DeMond, who has served previously, was on the search committee, and currently heads up our live streaming, and Inger Grüterich, who has also very ably headed up our Stewardship committee. Senior Warden Lili Neuhauser has reached her term limit at three consecutive terms, and before that, she served as a vestry member as well as a member of the search committee that called me to St. Mary's. Needless to say, we have made quite a few memories and have a lot to celebrate. I am deeply grateful to all, and will have more to say on Sunday. See you in church!

Blessings,
Father Rick
