Dear Friends in Christ, Our announcements have stated that I am seeking nominations for Parish Council membership. These usually come through volunteers, or by the suggestions of actively engaged parishioners. Here are the general areas that I ask the parish council to review, and also get involved in for service: 1) the Planning of Liturgy*, 2) Community Life, 3) Outreach and Works of Mercy*, and 4) Buildings and Grounds. (*Currently, additional volunteers schedule regular times to review and plan works for #1, and #3). The Parish Council meets on the 3rd Monday of each month from 6:30PM to 7:30PM. I am grateful that we have had (and do have) some extremely helpful, faithful, and magnanimous parishioners serving on Parish Council for the mission of Christ's Church. Of our goal of nine volunteer parishioners as active members, we presently have two vacant seats, and are again putting out the invite: would "you also go work in [the] vineyard for a day" (Mt. 20:4)? Thank you for your prayers and consideration. In Christ, with Mary, Fr. Tim
