Vesty Elections - Nominations are due by December 25, 2018

On the 20
th
of January, Trinity Church will hold its Annual Meeting. On the agenda of the Annual meeting will be the election of four members to serve on the Vestry. The process for electing new vestry members is as follows:
Nominees must be Episcopalians in good standing. “Good standing” equates to:
- Confirmed Member of the Episcopal Church and a Member of Trinity Church
- regular attendance at services and church events
- being officially pledged to the church (for the year 2019) and will continue pledging
- the ability to attend most Vestry meetings (usually held once per month)
- being involved (or will become involved) in service and ministry at Trinity Church
- being “visible” in the life of the parish
Nominators should first check with potential nominees to ascertain their willingness to stand for Vestry election. Nominees are responsible for ensuring that they meet the above criteria.
Nominations may be made by completing a paper form that can be obtained in the Church Office, or (after December 1
st
), you can print out a nomination form
here
.
Nominations are due by December 25
th
(Christmas Day) to Fr. Ken.

TRINITY MEN'S BREAKFAST ON THURSDAYS
A few years ago, several men gathered on Thursdays in the Parish Hall for fellowship and reflection over a hardy breakfast. Preparing the breakfast was a shared responsibility (as well as kitchen clean-up). There is some talk in reviving this tradition but we need to know if there is an interest. If interested or need details, contact Mike Gemmell at
mkgemmell@bellsouth.net
or call 601.445.5473; 601.807.2527.
