Hi Church

This Sunday we’ll be holding our Annual Parish Meeting between services. If you’re a member of the church we need you there! Even if you’re not a member this is a great opportunity to learn more about our common life (Check out below for details on the Essentials Class, part of becoming a member at COTC). We’ll be voting on a new member of the Parish Council (profile can be found here), proposing an amendment to the church bylaws, and receiving a budget update. 

As the meeting will be taking place between services, beginning at 10:20, for the first time ever we’ve produced this Annual Reporthighlighting some of the different areas of our shared life with reports from the past year and some information looking ahead. This will help us streamline the meeting on Sunday. Check it out! I’m grateful to God for the ways He’s been faithful to us this past year. 

Childcare for kids 5 and under is available during the meeting. If you’re attending the 9am please make sure your child keeps their registration sticker from the Garden, even if you bring them out for communion. If you’re attending the 11am please plan to come by for 10:10am to ensure you can register your child for The Garden. Kids are welcome in the meeting as well. 

In addition to this Parish Meeting, we’ll also be holding a brief meeting for the parents of youth-aged students following the 11am service. Youth begins the week of September 17th and this will be short meeting with some updates for the season ahead. 

Grace and peace, 

Peter+
