April 2004 Vestry Report

Editor Named

Vestrymember Jeanne Sutton has agreed to serve as editor of The Messenger. Parish Administrator Pat Thompson will continue to be responsible for typing and production, but starting with this issue Jeanne will assist with content coordination and proofreading. At the recent Vestry Planning Conference some suggestions made for features to be included in its pages were these: calendar of upcoming events; parish birthdays; opportunities for ministry; and a “wish list” of needed items looking for donors. If you have any additional suggestions, please speak with Jeanne or the Vestry on Call rep at Sunday coffee hour.

Parish Directory

It's time to update the Parish Directory, which hasn't been done since the end of 2002. The directory will be on the Vestry on Call table Sundays in April beginning on Palm Sunday. Newcomers and old timers both: Please take a few minutes to stop by and add new information, or correct old information. We'd like to have this project completed by the end of April, and we need your help to ensure that all parishioners are included and your listing is accurate.

AIDS Walk May 16

This year the New York City AIDS Walk will be held on Sunday, May 16. St. John's will be joining with other parishes in the New York diocese to participate in this important fund-raiser. Team captains Suzanne Culhane and Gerry Dilley are looking for volunteers to walk and to make financial contributions. You will be hearing more from them on ways you can help.
