Retreat reminder for vestry
The parish governing board, called the Vestry, meets this Saturday @ 10am at the home of Senior Warden Tom Bartlett to review our budget and plan for the future.
Thank you, Merry, Dick and Faye…
This Sunday, Dick & Merry Emlaw are hosting a Cinco de Mayo fundraiser for their neighbors to contribute to St. Stephen’s (StSt) Table. Faye Tayler has designed a wonderful “Table Talk” (quarterly) handout for our donors, full of pictures and testimonials from our guests and volunteers. (Thanks to all who sent their quotes to Paul.) See a copy posted in the pantry storage room. Next week’s eblast will announce how much we raised!
