Thank you to Ray and Adam for our new step leading out to the garden and John for the beautiful artwork.

We’d all like to thank Kelly for her HARD work in finishing off the church banners recently. They are simply adorable, and make the church look so beautiful for the Lenten season! Thanks so much Kelly!

There was a discussion about empowering the Corporation to sign lease agreements with groups who have a lease of less then 3 years or 3 years or more. All of our lease agreements are for less then 3 years so the only motion necessary was the one that was made. Please see the Vestry Meeting Minutes for any other information.
Blessings,
Sheila
