Vestry Report
As the Vestry (Trinity’s “board of directors”) meets well after the monthly newsletter deadline, our report of the March 24th meeting finally reaches you now.
Items as of March included:
• Stewardship/Treasurer: While we remain in a cautious stance, with the help of additional donations from the second appeal (thanks to all who responded, whether or not you could give more at this time), supplemented by prior year surpluses, we are beginning to close the 2009 budget gap. Structural problems remain for 2010.
• Rector Search: On schedule with Vestry interviews anticipated for late May and a call sometime in June, God willing. • Rummage Sale: The next rummage sale needs to be sponsored by all the People of Trinity (not just Outreach) and planning to include all interested and affected groups.
• WiFi on campus: More coverage coming soon—thanks to the Vestry tech squad!
• Radical Welcome: The former Membership Commission was disbanded and the Welcoming & Connecting Commission established in its place. Authorized formation of an Area Ministry Advisory Group to get up to speed on our bishop’s vision and its implications for Trinity.
• Vestry/Parish Goals: We discussed the need to add an outward, mission-focused goal and planned further discussion in April.
Vestry meetings are public, so join us if you will at 7 pm every 4th Tuesday. Lynn Pieron
