NOTE TO THE PARISH:
As many of you are aware Katie and Troy Graves-Abe will be transitioning to a new home in Maryland in the near future. Katie is a current Vestry member and at some time (hopefully not very soon) will step down from that position. At the Wednesday meeting, the remaining members of the Vestry voted to appoint Jack Devine to fill out Katie’s Vestry term, effective whenever Katie needs to step away. We are very grateful to both Katie and Jack for their willingness to assist us during these transitionary months.
