ACW Upcoming Events: Farraline Place Garden Party August 9, Annual Quiet Day Sept 5

Slow and steady  – at our last Vestry ( May 27^th) meeting we learned of a serious shortfall in Parish income for the month of May – in essence, attendance was down and as a collateral result so too was envelope giving!  A discussion developed concerning envelope giving versus e-offering. It was observed that e-offering, is a steady, known and dependable method of supporting the Parish whether one is present on a given Sunday or not and does not require remembering to fill out an envelope or perform ‘catch-up’ if one misses a Sunday. This assumes that folks actually play catch-up for missed Sundays and sadly this is often NOT the case. The reality that e-offering also addresses is that  - the bills continue to come in even if you are not present!

The NCD Survey Process continues. Results will be shared and a congregational planning meeting will then be scheduled, perhaps on June 24^th – stay tuned.
