Hello St. Michael’s!  I have a few things to highlight for you this week, including our annual meeting on Sunday, and also our changes for in-person worship starting Feb 7.  Please see The Sword for additional details on our annual meeting, which will start at about 10am after the Zoom church service on Sunday, using the same link as the worship service.  We have one item of formal business, the election of new members to the vestry, and you can vote early or absentee here.
                In addition to the vestry slate, we will have a slightly different format than usual, and our ministries report will be a video instead of a booklet of text. We will also have reports from myself and the wardens, and our treasurer, John Davis.  You can look at the financial documents by finding them in this email, and also view his presentation from last week here.
                Finally, I am glad to share with you that our region has been moved to Tier 1, where up to 25 people can gather for worship.  Beginning on Feb 7, at 8am and 10am, we will have in person worship with reservations.  Reserve via this link each week. My goal is to also have the Zoom session up and running, and to live stream it to the webpage, and to have it feel like a joint worship that spans geography.  Hold on to your hats, and remember that on Feb 7 the service time changes to 8am and 10am, with the same Zoom links as we have today.  
                Blessings to you all, and see you on Zoom (and soon in the pew!).
