Holy One, we give you thanks for this community and the many gifts that are embodied and shared by all who take their place within it. In these days, we continue to learn so much about ourselves–even as we learn, more and more, to trust your presence in our lives. It is no small thing to trust in the movement of the Living Spirit.
We give thanks to Charles Kelley, Patrick O’Rouke, Scarlet Pendarvis, and Doug Smith who will rotate off of the vestry. We appreciate their service to our parish community.
We give thanks for Alison Zavodny, Gale Smith, Beth Neidenbach, and Stephanie Wells who were willing to stand for election on the vestry. We give thanks for their lives and their dedication to this community in so many ways.
As well, we give thanks for the four who were elected by this parish to serve on the vestry: Daniel Grizzle, Barb Batog, Vance Holifield, and Sonja McLendon. We remember them before you know as they begin their three-year term in the midst of so much transition–and opportunity.
Bless the vestry of this parish and all the committees and ministry groups whose love and presence connect us all to one another–and to the entire world. For the blessings of our lives we give you thanks. Amen.
