Annual Meeting Celebration

This Sunday we will gather for our annual parish meeting. We will gather after the service to enjoy some food and fellowship. We will look back and celebrate God's goodness to us in the past year and see where God is leading us in the year to come.

I encourage you to look back over the year gone by and reflect on the challenges you have faced as well as the blessings that you have experienced. Where have you seen the grace of God at work in your life. What is something you hope for in the year ahead?

How have we been challenged and blessed here at St. John’s and Cranmer Chapel? Where have we seen God’s grace at work in our corporate life? What is your hope for us in the coming year?

I hope that you will take time this weekend to join us for worship as well as our annual meeting. Yes, we will take a look at the year gone by...and we will also look forward with hope to the year ahead!

Blessings,

Matthew+

Set us free, O God, from the bondage of our sins, and give us the liberty of that abundant life which you have made known to us in your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.   (BCP p. 216)
