2011 Proved to be a very positive time for our parish. On October 2, 2011 Rev. Elly Brown was installed as our new Vicar. A wonderful celebration was led by our Bishop George Councell and we welcomed choir members from Trenton to join our members in beautiful music as part of this celebration.
During the summer months of 2011 a Rally Day list of chores that needed to be addressed around the buildings was completed with the labor of many of the parish members who signed up to handle these responsibilities. A pride in keeping our buildings beautiful and safe is strongly felt by our parish members.
Christmas Eve service at 5PM was a family affair as many of the youngest parishioners presented the Manger pieces. Rev. Elly Brown queried the youngsters about the meaning of these various manger pieces and there was no shortage of laughter from the pews as they eagerly explained the meaning of Christmas to all.
On January 22, 2012 we will hold our Annual Parish Meeting following the 9AM church service. A breakfast will be served and the business of the parish will be addressed as new members of the Vestry, Convention and Convocation will be elected.
Our Parish continues to be pro-active in support of several Food Pantries in the area and many parishioners participated in the Christmas Angel project to purchase items for young children who were in family situations that may not have had a joyful Christmas holiday without some support.
Our membership is continuing to grow and we look forward to a productive year in 2012. We strive to continue to look out for those who need our help and support and with God's love and help we hope to be open to anyone who might need us.
