Coming up at Holy Apostles

 

Annual Meeting
January 21 after the 10 am service

The Mothers will give their annual address during the 10am service; following the service in the undercroft will be the presentation of the approved 2024 budget, a review of the 2023 financials with a time for questions and answers.  Two members of the Vestry will also be elected. 

 

All are welcome and encouraged to participate – the vitality and growth of our parish are dependent on your engagement! If you have a question for the meeting you are invited to share it with our wardens, Peter Saghir and Ann Mellow.

Restaurants to consider are places like Chipotle, Chik-fil-A, McDonalds, etc.
