VESTRY ELECTIONS
2016
The
Annual
Meeting
of
the
Congregation of St.
Andrew’s will be held
on Sunday, January 31st,
after the 8:30 a.m. High
Mass.
The
Annual
Meeting will be held at
the Montessori Centre at
4608 Granny White Pike,
37220, which is just
south of the intersection
of Granny
White and Harding. We
will
have
three
vacancies to fill for the
class of 2019, one
vacancy for the class of
2018 (Henry Carpenter’s
position, because as a
postulant
for
the
Deaconate he is no
longer eligible), and the
vacancy for Anne Ross’s
term in the class of 2017.
The nomination
forms may be found in
the hallway in front of
the Pastor’s study. They
specify the minimum
qualifications to serve
on the Vestry. Please
submit your nomination
to the committee. Any
questions regarding a
person’s qualifications
should
also
be
submitted
to
the
committee.
Any parishioner
who is 18 years of age or
older, and who is a
communicant in good
standing is eligible for
the Vestry. This means,
among other things, that
the
person
attends
regularly, supports the
church, and pledges a
specific amount.
The
same criteria define
those who are eligible to
have seat, voice and
vote at the annual
meeting. If you haven’t
made a pledge of a
specific amount, you
have seat and voice, but
no vote, pursuant to our
bylaws.
NEW FLOWER SIGNUP SHEET
There is new
signup sheet in the hall
in front of the Pastor’s
Study for flowers. Please
review and sign up for
the flowers you
would like to sponsor in
the New Year.
ISLAM
AND
CHRISTIANITY
We continue our
study of Islam and
Christianity next week
with discussion of the
Koran in an abridged
version. Having read of
the life of Mohammed in
The Sira and The Hadith
as edited by Dr. Bill
Warner, head of the
Center for the Study of
Political Islam, are in a
good position to more
fully understand the
Koran.
