Vestry Updates
Search Committee
Kim Page is continuing her work with Father Doug and the Senior Warden in preparing to seat the Search Committee and launch the search process. The recommendation for committee membership (from those of you that expressed interest in serving) will be made to the Vestry on January 27th and the process will launch shortly thereafter.
2025 Budget
The Vestry, with the leadership and guidance of our treasurer (Connie McDaniel), has been hard at work on the 2025 budget. A detailed review of the draft budget occurred on December 2nd and work continues to refine and finalize. The final budget will be reviewed and approved during the January 27th Vestry meeting. Note that this timing is typical as our year-end numbers are required to complete this work.
Parish Engagement & Listening Sessions
Thank you to all who attended the Parish meeting on Sunday, December 15th. Approximatelty 100 of your fellow parishioners attended the meeting to hear Mother Becky Rowell present what she heard across the 17 sessions (encompassing 175 people), her observations, and recommendations for moving forward. Stay tuned for additional information from the Vestry focused on specific next steps resulting from the report.

Revenue & Expenses Notes:
—Revenues primarily represent parishioner giving.
—Our parishioners give on various cycles - some prefer to give annually, and others prefer to give weekly, monthly, or quarterly.
—In 2024, we received several annual gifts in the first quarter.
—The third quarter of each year is typically the lowest quarter of giving due to summer travel and, generally, lower attendance.
