Annual Meeting 2022
ANNUAL MEETING FOLLOW UP
At our Annual Meeting, we rejoiced in the ways God has filled our hearts and minds in this past year at StGs, and celebrated the ways we have been able to be more present in our community. You can see the booklet with photos and information here (https://www.stgregoryschurch.org/annual-meeting-bo...). We reviewed our finances and detailed our intentional functional deficit as a part of how we feel we are currently called to serve in the world today. There is still one follow up finance meeting to discuss this in more depth and offer a time of questions and discussion for anyone interested.
We also shared the bold, exciting vision we believe the Holy Spirit is calling us to in order to serve our community more fully in the years to come: a renovation of our building to be a gathering place and coffee shop for the community. There are SO many wonderful things about this vision, and also lots of questions! We are hosting five information sessions about this vision, and can't wait to talk about it with you.

StGs Annual Meeting - February 20th
following the 9:30am worship service - Onsite and Online
The Annual Meeting is a time to celebrate the joys of the past year, mourn the losses, and look forward to where God is calling us to join in God’s work in the world. It is our deep hope that this COVID surge will abate by February 20th so that as many people as possible can come onsite to worship and join in the meeting on February 20th. As always, we will have a zoom option (we will just continue the morning worship zoom meeting) for those who need or prefer to participate online. We have MUCH to look forward to in 2022, and it is going to be fun to prayerfully explore all the possibilities. Mark your calendars, and look for more information about elections and the fun to come!
The Slate for the Annual Meeting
To serve on the Vestry
Sarah and her family started coming to St. Gregory’s in 2019, after moving to Deerfield a few years earlier. She works at the Walgreens corporate campus and sidelines with her husband as a chauffeur/cook to her 2 busy kids. When not spending time at a desk or in her vehicle, Sarah takes care of her backyard honeybees, traveling, hiking and sewing. During the warmer months, she can be found wandering around the St. G’s labyrinth or at the pumpkin patch and is excited to be a part of the vestry. A cradle Episcopalian, joined St Gregory’s in 2012. As a member of St Gregory’s, Val is a self proclaimed "data nerd" using her unbelievable spreadsheet skills to order altar flowers, exercise aficionado (especially loving TRX, Body Pump, and Deep Water Running), and can also be found Sunday serving as a liturgical minister or sitting with her family. She looks forward to this new experience representing St Gregory’s with a smile.Sarah Kettlewell
