We worshipped together, listened to various speakers and diocesan reports, passed the annual budget of the Diocese, and participated in the discussion surrounding a number of important resolutions, most notably a resolution involving the potential sale and relocation of the Diocesan Center at Talbot Hall and a resolution concerning the possible trial use of a proposed liturgy for the blessing of same gender relationships.

Foyer Groups: IT'S THAT TIME AGAIN! It's hard to believe, but it's time again to sign up for Foyer Groups which will start again this spring. As most know, these are groups of 8-10 parishioners who get together, usually at someone's home, once a month, in order to get to know each other and have some fun! Members of these groups are assigned with the idea of mixing folks with others whom they don't know or haven't "grouped" with before. Please see signup sheet in White Hall.
