Annual Meeting Sunday!
This Sunday begins with our service at 9:00, followed by brunch (I always look forward to that!) and the Annual Meeting. As you have heard by now, vestry members are providing breakfast casseroles, and everyone else is asked to bring something to accompany them. What's your favorite breakfast dish? Bring that! Sammie is making her cheese grits, so don't miss it.
The Annual Meeting will follow its usual format, except we will only ask for comments and questions on the reports as a whole, not go through them one by one. So please read the reports in advance, and have your questions ready. If you did not pick up a paper copy of the Annual Report on Sunday, it is attached to today's Thursday Memo so that you may download it.
I also ask that you be thinking about a few things in the days leading up to the meeting. What are some of your best memories of your time at St. Andrew's? What do you value most about our parish? There will be some time to share some of these reflections on Sunday morning. I look forward to hearing your thoughts, and to my first Annual Meeting with you.
See you on Sunday,

Winter Weather Advisory!!!
Winter Weather Advisory!!!
Please
keep in mind during the winter when the weather looks questionable for safe
travel to call the church before you leave home to check for schedule changes.
If a storm comes in on Saturday evening or Sunday, I will make a judgment by
7:00 AM about whether to hold, cancel, or delay services. Cancellations will
posted on WMUR9 and also be announced on WMWV radio 93.5. The church phone
message will also reflect any cancellations. PLEASE do not travel if it feels
unsafe to you. Enjoy a Sabbath morning at home and remember St. Andrew’s in
your prayers.
Blessings,
See you
in Church!
