Dear Good People of Trinity Church,
We invite you to join us next Sunday, November 9, following the 10:30 a.m. service, for our Annual Meeting. This gathering is much more than a meeting to fulfill a canonical requirement—it is our annual Trinity family meeting: a time for us to come together, reflect on who we are, and consider how we continue the work of Trinity Church in the world.
Two matters will come before us for a vote or affirmation:
The election of the Vestry Class of 2028 and approval of our appointed Youth Representative. You will see that we are blessed to have four very qualified candidates and a Youth Representative (to serve a one year term) that will certainly do a fantastic job representing the needs of Trinity. In addition, Tom Scott has agreed to fill a vacancy in the Class of 2024.
The approval of the Bylaws. The Vestry has determined that while we have not previously had any official Bylaws now was a good time to put into writing what has been our traditional practices. The Vestry has reviewed the document and approved it as presented.
Information about both items can be found below. The full Annual Report will be shared later this week for your review.
Beyond these matters of business, this meeting is also a time for conversation—an opportunity to ask questions, offer suggestions, share ideas, and dream together. It’s a moment to give thanks, to challenge and encourage one another, and to celebrate the many ways God is at work among us. It is the people of Trinity Church living out what it means to be the Body of Christ.
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday.
Peace and Blessings,
Paul Jeanes+
