Dear Parish Family!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Thank you for making the celebrations of the Nativity of our Lord a joyful and festive time of contemplation and worship.  The Festive Celebration of the Nativity of our Lord at the midnight service was especially joyful with our outstanding choir and their program beginning at 10:30 and leading the singing during the service itself.  Thank you to Conrad and Choir for a job well done.  My thanks also go to all those who participated:  the servers, the Eucharistic ministers, the lectors, the ushers, and the oblationers.

It is hard for me to realize that this will be my last Christmas among you as your rector.  As most of you know, I will retire as the Rector of St. John’s effective on February 1, 2012. Then will begin a busy time for you as the Vestry appoints a committee to develop a profile of the parish and you, the members of St. John’s, determine the qualities that you would like in you next rector.  The Vestry will also appoint a search committee that will receive names of candidates and make recommendations to the Vestry who will elect the person that they feel will best serve this parish in the future.  Know that my prayers will be with you during this time.

The Annual Meeting of St. John=s Episcopal Church will be held on January29^th. We will elect four new vestry persons, replacing those who have completed their term of office (Dr. Joe Bolger, Dr. Richard Campbell, Steve Maddry and Walker Twyman).  Well done, good and faithful servants. The nomination committee has worked diligently to present a slate of nominees that will serve the parish for the next two years.  See the insert in this newsletter for more information about them.  Nominees will also be accepted from the floor.  Delegates to Diocesan Convention in October will also be elected. 

In Christ,

Fr. Wayne
