After sharing a lovely dinner prepared by Josephine, we shared God Moments and then opened the meeting at 7:00 p.m. We approved the minutes from the February vestry meeting, the annual meeting and the vestry retreat. Lynn presented the financial reports and these were approved.
Meg Amouroux came to the meeting to give us a report on the meeting with the pastor from Centerville Presbyterian. Their 150th anniversary was last year and they gave us a lot of ideas to discuss. Vestry were asked to attend the meeting on Sunday 19th for the next planning meeting. We talked about some of the ideas and also about who might lea certain aspects of the celebration.
We then created norms for the vestry meetings, approved the parochial report and discussed how to distribute the endowment money. We will vote on tis next month, vestry were asked to think about this distribution.
Finally, we reviewed the possible purchase of an AED and the codes which go along with this responsibility. We decided to have a small team look more into this and bring back information for April’s vestry meeting which will be on April 6th due to the timing of Holy Week.
We reviewed the vestry jobs for the year. Before accepting the ministry and rector’s report, Lori gave us an update about Ron’s health. She will not be going on sabbatical this year.
After adjourning the meeting, Josephine led us in Compline.
