We welcome all who are visiting us for worship. You will notice that St Peter's is a specifically Prayer Book Parish theologically as well as liturgically. What this means is that traditional liturgy (services) are the worshipping expression of normative Anglican, (i.e., of the Anglican Communion) belief. We hope that you find your time in our midst spiritually refreshing and beneficial.

Fr Hebb requires eye surgery in Halifax on Monday Jan 23. (left eye) For ease of check-up visits to Halifax, he will be recuperating with family in Nova Scotia. Sunday services are covered for three Sundays and Fr Ian Wetmore of St Mary’s Devon has agreed to cover emergencies. Prayers are requested for a successful surgery and an uneventful recovery!

Sunday school at 11 a.m. – all welcome! Annual Parish Meeting following Congregational Pot Luck meal

Vestry News from Dec 11, 2011: Year-end discussion included the subject of payments into the diocese – we are asked for exactly $13,860.00. It was decided to pay at least $9,400.00 – (10% of last year’s total offerings). [Our actual payment was $10,000.00]. NCD initiatives were reviewed: Both the teaching outreach (Parables sessions) and the new Sunday School scheduling were deemed successes. Fr Hebb did not credit the visiting initiative a success. One aspect of this is the once monthly delivery of video-recorded sermons/talks to our shut-ins and elderly – this has not yet come into being! Dr A. Klinck gave an update on work being done in preparation for our application to Ottawa requesting St Peter’s Church be recognized as a National Historic Site. Finally, a Nominations Committee of Wilfred Alliston, Mark Fisher & Rector Hebb was struck to solicit interest in serving on the vestry and/or as synod delegates and alternates for 2012. New members are desired. Please speak to any of these persons to express an interest – you do NOT have to wait to be asked!

It was decided to pay at least $9,400.00 – (10% of last year’s total offerings), even if this means taking from investments.

The Rector and treasurer reminded Vestry that we are legally and morally bound to use only the interest from that fund and that exclusively towards the upkeep and maintenance of the cemetery proper – it cannot be used to repair the church building or to pay any other operating bills! Much discussion was held concerning Turkey Supper preparations and the sizeable workforce required. Ongoing discussion included the subject of rectory maintenance costs versus income generated by rentals and it was determined that a comparison of same for the past ten years would be a good study document.
An update was also received on preparations for our application for National Historic Site recognition.

King’s Landing: Fr Hebb has agreed to 2 King’s Landing Evening Prayer at 3 p.m. engagements this summer on September 4 and 18. Why not join him at the Landing – transportation provided!

Fr Hebb is glad to be back home to St Peter’s His travels and sabbatical reflections have increased his sense of appreciation and thankfulness for being Canadian and Anglican. As for being Canadian, having been in the trenches at Vimy Ridge, walked the fields of Passchendaele and strode the sands of Juno Beach one appreciates what others have sacrificed to ensure our freedom and prosperity. As for Anglican, I encountered many English new rites services which left me cold, confused and unmoved. The privilege we have in this diocese to worship God according to traditional Anglican forms using the Book of Common Prayer is a blessing few fully realize – me included. Sadly, I guess, one only fully appreciates a blessing once it is removed or one is removed from it – such was the case for me during my sabbatical stay of five weeks at Norwich Cathedral.

Latest Copies of The Anglican Planet (TAP) are sadly all gone – they had a decided St Peter’s twist again this month. Note the financial appeal they have launched for support to continue and maybe consider helping out in that department – our Parish sure has done well by them!

Services this Week: Parish of St Peter, Fredericton, N. B.

August 10 (midweek) Holy Communion 7 p. m.
Aug 14 RINITY VIII Holy Communion 8 & 11 a.m.

We welcome all who are worshipping with us during this Trinity season. St Peter's is a specifically Prayer Book Parish theologically as well as liturgically. What this means is that traditional liturgy (services) are the worshipping expression of normative Anglican, (i.e., of the Anglican Communion) belief. We hope that you find your time in our midst spiritually refreshing and beneficial.

St Michael’s Youth Camp, Bouchtouche NB August 22 to 27 inclusive. Youth 13 to 19 yrs of age are eligible to attend. Financial assistance available - please speak privately to Fr Hebb: Check out the website at: http://myweb.dal.ca/sesteven/smyc/smyc/www.smyc.ca

The Fredericton Food bank: The Food Bank asks for a focus on ‘meal in a can’ items such as canned stews, canned beans or canned pasta.
Back to Church Sunday (scheduled for September 25th) will be held again this fall. Please begin thinking and praying about this initiative!

Confirmation Classes will resume on September 11 at 10:15 a.m.

Sunday School resumes Sept 18th. Note new routine: Children come to worship at 11 a.m. and then leave at the announcements for Sunday School in the Parish hall which then lasts until after service – this was one of the new initiatives decided as a result of our NCD survey and parish meeting!

King’s Landing: Fr Hebb has agreed to 2 King’s Landing Evening Prayer at 3 p.m. engagements this summer on September 4 and 18. Why not join him at the Landing – transportation provided!

Vestry meeting August 21 12:30 p.m. in Parish hall – this was the date chosen back in April!

Fr Hebb is glad to be back home to St Peter’s His travels and sabbatical reflections have increased his sense of appreciation and thankfulness for being Canadian and Anglican. As for being Canadian, having been in the trenches at Vimy Ridge, walked the fields of Passchendaele and strode the sands of Juno Beach one appreciates what others have sacrificed to ensure our freedom and prosperity. As for Anglican, I encountered many English new rites services which left me cold, confused and unmoved. The privilege we have in this diocese to worship God according to traditional Anglican forms using the Book of Common Prayer is a blessing few fully realize – me included. Sadly, I guess, one only fully appreciates a blessing once it is removed or one is removed from it – such was the case for me during my sabbatical stay of five weeks at Norwich Cathedral.

General Parish Meeting on NCD UPDATE: AT our meeting on Sunday March 27, after soup and chilli, discussion on the NCD survey results ensued. It was generally agreed that the survey reflected our Parish’s reality – warts and all! Our (greatest) weaknesses lie in the area of personal spirituality and evangelism (broadly understood). Good discussion centered around what forms evangelism would/should take for traditional Anglicans. Three specific initiatives were proposed by those gathered to help address our situation. I. A Christian study group, open to the entire surrounding community, focusing on Jesus’ teaching in the Parables will be offered next fall in the parish hall. II. An ad hoc group of parishioners interested in friendly visits to fellow parishioners (elderly and shut-in) will be formed and given some structure and focus under Fr Hebb’s auspices. III. Sunday School time and structure will be altered in September to reflect a new era. Parents and children will be encouraged to attend worship at 11 a.m. with children and teachers exiting before the sermon for Sunday School in the Parish hall. After the 11 a.m. service parents will proceed to the hall shortly after noon to pick-up their children.

Needed: In the Fall, that is September, a Sunday School teacher for our second class – please speak to Kim Greechan for details. Youngest Sunday School class is looking for a small book case for storage space in their room – if anyone have one to donate; speak with Karen D., Ruth B, Lori D or Kim O.

Vestry Meeting NEWS: Vestry of Feb 13 appointed Willard Fram as Parish treasurer and Brenda Smith as Vestry Clerk. Both persons have previously served faithfully for years in these positions. Vestry welcomed two new members; Ria Neish and Anne Klinck. After a time of sharing relating to each person’s connection to St Peter’s the treasurer presented his report. The report was sobering. Expenses exceeded income by roughly $2,000.00 in January. The treasurer had to “borrow’ funds from the memorial account – funds which must be replaced. Specific plans for Natural Church Development (NCD) survey Sunday were finalized. Prolonged discussion of the condition, status and future of the Rectory building came next. Potential repairs, the difficulty in renting and finding appropriate tenants and the long-term usefulness of having a rectory were all discussed. It was decided to reaffirm our “no-pets” policy and to limit occupancy to five persons maximum. {A lease was signed on Tuesday Feb 15th} It was also decided to hire a carpentry firm (King Construction) to do a professional assessment of the state of the building in March. To pay for this, special envelopes are available at the rear of the church to raise the estimated $500.00 this will cost.

There is a donation basket as well so as to facilitate pre-meal purchases.

We welcome all who are worshipping with us this holy Pre-Lenten season. St Peter's is a specifically Prayer Book Parish theologically as well as liturgically. What this means is that traditional liturgy (services) are the worshipping expression of normative Anglican, (i.e., of the Anglican Communion) belief. We hope that you find your time in our midst spiritually refreshing and beneficial.

Vestry Meeting NEWS: Vestry of Feb 13 appointed Willard Fram as Parish treasurer and Brenda Smith as Vestry Clerk. Both persons have previously served faithfully for years in these positions. Vestry welcomed two new members; Ria Neish and Anne Klinck. After a time of sharing relating to each person’s connection to St Peter’s the treasurer presented his report. The report was sobering. Expenses exceeded income by roughly $2,000.00 in January. The treasurer had to “borrow’ funds from the memorial account – funds which must be replaced. Specific plans for Natural Church Development (NCD) survey Sunday were finalized. Prolonged discussion of the condition, status and future of the Rectory building came next. Potential repairs, the difficulty in renting and finding appropriate tenants and the long-term usefulness of having a rectory were all discussed. It was decided to reaffirm our “no-pets” policy and to limit occupancy to five persons maximum. {A lease was signed on Tuesday} It was also decided to hire a carpentry firm to do a professional assessment of the state of the building in March. To pay for this, special envelopes are to be made available at the rear of the church to raise the estimated $500.00 this will cost. It was further decided to have our annual Shrove Tuesday Supper on March 8 – Mary, Frankie and Brenda are to be the organizing committee. Ria Neish gave an overview of her upcoming Lenten “Lectio” talks scheduled for Lent’s Sunday afternoons at 4 p.m. Fr Hebb stressed the uniqueness of Ria’s talks as well as the opportunity presented by the Adult St Michael’s Conference to be held at St Peter’s April 8 and 9th. Fr Hebb reported that he has secured clerical coverage for all 14 Sundays of his upcoming Sabbatical Leave.

The Rector is most appreciative that some folks did sign up for February snow shovelling.

Annual Meeting NEWS: Those gathered listened to a joint presentation on Natural Church Development (NCD) from our representatives; vestryman, Wilfred Alliston and synod delegate Sandra Gereau. NCD is the program chosen by Vestry last May (2010) as the one on offer from the Diocese, most likely to benefit St Peter’s. It involves a Parish Assessment. The assessment is in the form of a survey filled-out by at least 30 persons representing every aspect of parish life! This assessment would identify strengths and weaknesses and we would then work collectively on improvements. The annual meeting also discussed a proposal to develop parish property behind both the hall and the rectory. The proposal would take several years to execute, would involve high-value housing and necessitate the involvement of a developer. Respectful discussion revealed points both for and against such a move on behalf of the Parish. The airing of differing views was most informative and helpful. The differing perspectives will be reflected in the make-up of our new vestry and discussion will continue.

Vestry also received an initial report on a proposal to develop parish property behind both the hall and the rectory.

Ho Ho Ho – now is the time to plan – who might you invite to attend Christmas eve worship with you this year? Our 7 p.m. and 10 p.m. attendance numbers have been declining in recent years due to the changing demographics of our parish. The 4 p.m. Creche service is well attended with about 60 people each year but young families are not graduating to the 7 p.m. service as they should, nor are our older members who become shut-ins being replaced at a sufficient rate. There is also the reality that, what used to be our extended family attendance at these two services, is not what it used to be. Rather than despairing, let’s make a conscious effort to stir-up better attendance this coming Christmas eve. Let this be part of our Advent resolve this December!

We welcome all who are worshipping with us this day. St Peter's is a specifically Prayer Book Parish theologically as well as liturgically. What this means is that traditional liturgy (services) are the worshipping expression of normative Anglican, (i.e., of the Anglican Communion) belief. We hope that you find your time in our midst spiritually refreshing and beneficial.

Our Parish Treasurer reports that the Church Exterior Restoration Fund appears to be sufficient if the last bill is as expected. What is NOT healthy is our current account – that is, collection plate income – we are low. Those who were not here this summer and who are not on e-offering please make up for time missed. Although you were not here our expenses continued!

The New Service Schedule as well as the new servers (yellow), sidesmen (white paper) and readers (orange) schedules are out and at the rear and are also posted on the Parish website.

Sue Careless is coming to St Peter’s!! St Peter’s will be hosting the ONLY Fredericton stopover for noted writer Sue Careless when she is on her 2010 Atlantic Canadian book tour. Promoting her third book on the Book of Common Prayer, Sue will give an engaging talk, answer questions and sign books. Save the date Monday October 25, 7 p.m. at St Peter’s Parish hall. Don’t miss this opportunity to engage an author, to meet and to learn!

Vestry News: At Vestry on Sunday Sept. 26 we received the good news that donations thus far to the Restoration Project total $38,268.00 – with some pledges yet to be finalized. It was decided to invite Archbishop Miller for a service of Celebration and Thanksgiving for this positive result. A Parish Evensong and Episcopal visit is scheduled for Thursday Nov 4, 7 p.m. – please keep this date free! Also it was suggested that the Sunday School, this autumn, accept the challenge of adopting the “Corn Grinder” Project for the companion diocese of Ho. Ruth B also agreed to be SS treasurer – we had been without a treasurer since last November. Vestry has yet to find attendees for the Greater Chapter meeting to be held Oct 7 and representatives for the Natural Church Development (NCD) conference on Nov 6 at CCPC. NCD is the program chosen by vestry at its May meeting as the most suitable means whereby to conduct a Parish self-assessment. This assessment would identify strengths and weaknesses and suggest methods of improvement. On a much more sobering front, the Parish has outstanding commitments to the diocese (formerly called assessments and apportionments) in the vicinity of $9,240.00. This figure is the amount accumulated thus far in this fiscal year. The total will be around 14 thousand dollars.

A Farewell for the Nutters; a special service for Archbishop Harold and Edith (hopefully) will be held at the Cathedral at 12 noon Oct., 30 with a reception following in the Memorial Hall. Sadly, the Nutters are moving to Ontario.

Foundation for Life packets are available for pick-up at the rear! Please get yours! This is a synod approved, diocesan Fund raiser aim at all Anglicans.

St Peter’s Publications Church Calendars for 2011 are now available at the rear: Cost $6:00 each

Vestry has expressed interest in doing a Parish self-assessment using the Natural Church Development survey device. The treasurer’s report revealed revenues falling short of expenditures in the current account. Funds have continued to flow into the Restoration Fund since Easter but whatever the expense of the bell tower repair, estimated, by us, at between $5,000.00 and $7,500.00 - we do NOT have payment funds on hand! Parishioners are asked to keep both these facts in mind as the summer commences! A letter of thanks will be sent to Rainsford Contractors - for foregoing ANY fee for last winter’s snow plowing work! Two parishioners attended the Bishop’s Dinner in early May. As for the photo projected reported last month, vestry agreed to their half share of the costs which will run between $400.00 and $450.00. [As this was an atypical, non-budgeted expense, Fr Hebb asked folks to recall this extra expense at offering time] Once completed, the five photos will be hung in the Parish hall. As for the rectory, the present tenants will be leaving at the end of June and vestry agreed to follow-up on an expression of interest from a potential renter. Vestry also passed a motion increasing the monthly rental fee to $1,100.00 Regarding the Church, Vestry passed a motion accepting certo-pro painters estimate for scraping and painting the church exterior at $11,500.00 Vestry had previously decided to only accept estimates from professional, reputable and known professional painting firms.

Our ACW will be hosting the Deanery Annual next fall on Thursday Oct 14; 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. – including lunch for 60 people. As a result Vestry has decided to host our Annual Turkey Supper early on Oct 2 – be aware and be there!

Parish hall is booked for advance election polls on Sept 17 and 20 Hall is booked, of course, for election day, September 27th!

Vestry News: At our last vestry meeting (May 30) several issues were raised and actions taken. Archdeacon of Fredericton, Pat Drummond attended and gave a half hour presentation concerning the Nicodemus Project and various other diocesan initiatives associated with Parish and diocesan renewal. Vestry has expressed interest in doing a Parish self-assessment using the Natural Church Development survey device. The treasurer’s report revealed revenues falling short of expenditures in the current account. Funds have continued to flow into the Restoration Fund since Easter but whatever the expense of the bell tower repair, estimated, by us, at between $5,000.00 and $7,500.00 - we do NOT have payment funds on hand! Parishioners are asked to keep both these facts in mind as the summer commences! A letter of thanks will be sent to Rainsford Contractors - for foregoing ANY fee for last winter’s snow plowing work! Two parishioners attended the Bishop’s Dinner in early May. As for the photo projected reported last month, vestry agreed to their half share of the costs which will run between $400.00 and $450.00. [As this was an atypical, non-budgeted expense, Fr Hebb asked folks to recall this extra expense at offering time] Once completed, the five photos will be hung in the Parish hall. As for the rectory, the present tenants will be leaving at the end of June and vestry agreed to follow-up on an expression of interest from a potential renter. Vestry also passed a motion increasing the monthly rental fee to $1,100.00 Regarding the Church, Vestry passed a motion accepting certo-pro painters estimate for scraping and painting the church exterior at $11,500.00 Vestry had previously decided to only accept estimates from professional, reputable and known professional painting firms. Fr Hebb reported on provisions for parish pastoral coverage during his sick leave and also reminded everyone of this summer’s upcoming St Michael’s Youth Conference August 23-28

The Rectory has been rented to new tenants as of August 1, 2010.

Saint Michael’s Youth Conference August 23-28 is fast approaching. Please pray for this major youth initiative of our Parish and encourage our many young people to consider attending. Financial assistance is available to any who may require it!

Vestry News: At our last vestry meeting (April 25) several issues were raised and actions taken. With respect to attendance and retention challenges at St Peter’s it was decided to buy member booklets for the English Program: “Everybody’s Welcome” This will be an entirely new effort by St Peter’s scheduled for the Fall. All interested people from vestry to greeters to SS teachers to ACW will be asked to participate in this across the Parish initiative to become an even more welcoming Parish AND to learn strategies for retaining the attention and attendance of all members of our congregation – new and old. Archdeacon of Fredericton, Pat Drummond will attend our next Vestry meeting on May 30 to present more details on various diocesan programme offerings geared to Parish transformational change!
Vestry learned that the old photos from the old hall were moulded. Digital copies have been obtained and estimates on the cost of producing 5 new wall-mounted copies are forthcoming. Costs will likely be split between the ACW and vestry. [Post vestry info places the costs at about $150.00 per picture.]

Alert: Tombstone Scam: It has come to my attention that a company from Saint John has been calling parishioners with loved ones buried in our cemetery stating that they will be repairing tombstones in the spring. They insinuate that they have permission to do so and may even ask for advance payment. The cemetery is Parish Corporation property and not a public space – NO such permission has been requested or granted. Be aware and be very wary of supposed “improvements” to old stones, especially ones too well priced to be true!

We welcome all who are worshipping with us during this pre-lent season. St Peter's is a specifically Prayer Book Parish theologically as well as liturgically.

We hope that you find your time in our midst spiritually refreshing and beneficial.

A Message from YOUR Vestry: St. Peter’s Contributions: Here at St Peter’s, as elsewhere, there is the need to increase our weekly giving so as to remain economically viable. To that end, Vestry members have accepted the challenge and each member has agreed to increase their personal weekly giving by 10%. We would invite and encourage you to join us in this undertaking. St. Peter’s has played a central role in the lives of parishioners for more than 170 years. Our ability to continue with our joint Ministry hinges on our capacity to meet mounting operating expenses and a growing capital budget. Thank you for your consideration of this important request and please feel free to discuss this with the Wardens; Bob Matthews and Mary Christie, any Vestry member or Fr. Hebb.

Copies of the annual meeting hand-outs are available at the rear – everyone and anyone interested in the future of our Parish should take a copy and read it.

O Come let us worship the Christ child as Lord, Creator and Saviour!

We welcome all who are worshipping with us during this holy Christmas season. St Peter's is a specifically Prayer Book Parish theologically as well as liturgically. What this means is that traditional liturgy (services) are the worshipping expression of normative Anglican, (i.e., of the Anglican Communion) belief. We hope that you find your time in our midst spiritually refreshing and beneficial.

The Fredericton Food bank: The Food Bank asks for a focus on ‘meal in a can’ items such as canned stews, canned beans or canned pasta.

A Message from YOUR Vestry: St. Peter’s Contributions: Here at St Peter’s, as elsewhere, there is the need to increase our weekly giving so as to remain economically viable. To that end, Vestry members have accepted the challenge and each member has agreed to increase their personal weekly giving by 10%. We would invite and encourage you to join us in this undertaking. St. Peter’s has played a central role in the lives of parishioners for more than 170 years. Our ability to continue with our joint Ministry hinges on our capacity to meet mounting operating expenses and a growing capital budget. Thank you for your consideration of this important request and please feel free to discuss this with the Wardens; Bob Matthews and Mary Christie, any Vestry member or Fr. Hebb.

Vestry News: Our last vestry meeting received good news – last winter`s snow plowing bill is able to be paid off! Also, our treasurer reports that folks are responding to the 10% challenge found in the paragraph above. We are now happy to report having secured a contractor to plow snow this season. As for the Church Exterior Restoration Fund: Although everyone received the October mailing – there remain over 100 outstanding responses! Please do act with your 2009 support NOW! Remember ... our goal is $50,000.00 in total.
We can reach this goal if everyone contributes and pulls together!

The Cathedral Puppeteers, including our own Cody McKay, are going on a Mission trip to Belize in 2010. Cody needs to raise funds to go.

Today’s bulletin cover is given to the Greater Glory of God and in loving memory of departed members of St Peter’s congregation.

New Initiative: Invite a Friend to Christmas Services: Recent years have seen a decline in numbers at our two later Christmas eve services. This is partly due to the children’s crèche service at 4 p.m. and partly due to the aging of many of our families – children have grown-up, married and moved away. To counter this trend, Fr Hebb urges folks to invite someone to Christmas worship this week. Christmas Eve serves are especially beautiful, moving and meaningful – why not give it a try and invite someone?

A Message from YOUR Vestry: St. Peter’s Contributions: Here at St Peter’s, as elsewhere, there is the need to increase our weekly giving so as to remain economically viable. To that end, Vestry members have accepted the challenge and each member has agreed to increase their personal weekly giving by 10%. We would invite and encourage you to join us in this undertaking. St. Peter’s has played a central role in the lives of parishioners for more than 170 years. Our ability to continue with our joint Ministry hinges on our capacity to meet mounting operating expenses and a growing capital budget. Thank you for your consideration of this important request and please feel free to discuss this with the Wardens; Bob Matthews and Mary Christie, any Vestry member or Fr. Hebb.

Our Turkey Supper is tentatively scheduled for Oct 17. If sufficient workers sign up by Oct 4 the supper will be held, if not we will be unable to host the event.

Back to Church Sunday (scheduled for October 18) will be held again this fall. Please begin thinking and praying about this initiative!

Confirmation at St Peter’s is Sunday November 8th. Please plan to attend this crucial event in the life of our Parish and show your support for our young people by your prayers and bodily presence!

Needed: As a typist has graciously stepped forward to type the parish mailing list and data base into Word 2007, what the Parish needs now is another Sunday School Teacher. Fr Hebb taught the eldest class all last year and called it a pre-confirmation class. Now it is time for a new lay person to step forward and help share the task of educating our children.

A Message from YOUR Vestry: St. Peter’s Contributions: Here at St Peter’s, as elsewhere, there is the need to increase our weekly giving so as to remain economically viable. To that end, Vestry members have accepted the challenge and each member has agreed to increase their personal weekly giving by 10%. We would invite and encourage you to join us in this undertaking. St. Peter’s has played a central role in the lives of parishioners for more than 170 years. Our ability to continue with our joint Ministry hinges on our capacity to meet mounting operating expenses and a growing capital budget. Thank you for your consideration of this important request and please feel free to discuss this with the Wardens; Bob Matthews and Mary Christie, any Vestry member or Fr. Hebb.

Vestry News:

On Sunday June 21 (Father’s Day) your vestry met to consider Parish business. Although some progress has been noted with certain individuals embracing the vestry’s 10% challenge, the Parish still faces fiscal challenges. Vestry wishes to point out that last winter’s church fuel bill stands at $2,937.21 and last winter’s snow removal bill remains at $2,779.80 as of the end of May 2009.

The week of July 6-10 everyone should have received a letter from the Rector and Wardens concerning our upcoming Church Exterior Capital Fund Campaign (as well as a service schedule for the summer and autumn). Thankfully, donations have already begun to come in! Please plan your support now!

A Message from YOUR Vestry: St. Peter’s Contributions: Here at St Peter’s, as elsewhere, there is the need to increase our weekly giving so as to remain economically viable. To that end, Vestry members have accepted the challenge and each member has agreed to increase their personal weekly giving by 10%. We would invite and encourage you to join us in this undertaking. St. Peter’s has played a central role in the lives of parishioners for more than 170 years. Our ability to continue with our joint Ministry hinges on our capacity to meet mounting operating expenses and a growing capital budget. Thank you for your consideration of this important request and please feel free to discuss this with the Wardens; Bob Matthews and Mary Christie, any Vestry member or Fr. Hebb.

Breaking Vestry News:

On Sunday June 21 (Father’s Day) your vestry met to consider Parish business. Although some progress has been noted with certain individuals embracing the vestry’s 10% challenge, the Parish still faces fiscal challenges. Vestry wishes to point out that last winter’s church fuel bill stands at $2,937.21 and last winter’s snow removal bill remains at $2,779.80 as of the end of May 2009.

Note: no servers’ schedule will be issued for the months of July and August. Serving will be on a first come basis.

The other week (July 6-10) everyone should have received a letter from the Rector and Wardens concerning our upcoming Church Exterior Capital Fund Campaign (as well as a service schedule for the summer and autumn). Thankfully, donations have already begun to come in! Please plan your support now!
