St. Paul's Vestry

Vestry News

The Vestry held its regular monthly meeting on July 20 with five members absent for various reasons. Linda Spinella met with the Vestry which voted unanimously to support her in the discernment process for possible ordination. The church's recent successful participation in the annual Concord Market Days was discussed. Work has begun on Spiritual Formation for the upcoming year, and people are registering for the EfM program scheduled to begin in September. Mission & Outreach is undergoing some exciting changes. Watch for the "Mission of the Month" throughout the year to learn more about the many missions that our parish participates in, and ways that you may be able to help. The August Mission of the Month was the St. Paul's Refugee Partnership, and it was agreed to host a fresh produce table on Sundays in August, to help raise money to assist local refugee families. There will be more information coming about a new volunteer "Job Bank" giving you the opportunity to try out various ministries. We are also introducing a gift card program that you can use to honor family and friends while helping others. Kate has been accepted into the Leadership Greater Concord Program for 2010/2011. All vestry members were encouraged to attend a diocesan Leadership Institute to be held in May of 2011. On the financial end, income continues to be an issue, but the recent appeal to the parish has resulted in an increase of approximately $20,000. Subsequent to this meeting, the Vestry agreed to provide a half-year financial report to the parish. You can view this report by clicking on the following link: Jan - Jun 2010 Report to Parish
