A Summary of Vestry Actions taken at the October 14, 2021, Meeting: 

TREASURER’S REPORT
“All is well and stocks are up.” The Vestry amended & adopted a resolution for the Vanguard Group, Inc. Much of the deferred maintenance on the church campus has already been completed & is impressive. 
STEWARDSHIP COMMITTEE UPDATE                                                                                                                           The 2022 Stewardship brochure has been mailed out. Pledge Sunday will be on Halloween and the office will send out quarterly statements to remind people where they are thus far with their 2021 pledges.  Some changes have been made to the new Giving Platform app on our website, which is ready to launch;  people will be able to contribute thru the app on a onetime or recurring basis.  
CAMPUS COMMITTEE UPDATE                                                                                                                                The mini splits have been installed in Gardner Hall and are working very well – The Jelleme Cottage work is continuing, the cottage is looking great. Other needs noted: rectory porch roof; Parish House basement steps up to the Macintyre Garden; the SE corner of the Parish House is buckling. On Sept. 23 architect Angus McCloud walked through the building to provide ideas of improving the space. It was suggested that the “Parish House Revival” costs probably need to come from different funds. 
COMMUNICATONS COMMITTEE UPDATE 
The Stewardship brochure demonstrates a great deal of cross-over with communications & pledging. Thought is being given to the January issue of Tidings.  Andrew Cromartie will be featured highlighting his gift of keeping everyone connected via the weekly zoom production of Sunday services.    

MISSION COMMITTEE UPDATE
38 cards go out each month to Laundry Love; Fairwinds cards go every other month; 19 bags of food were brought to the Food Pantry. 40 Weds. meals have been distributed per week, with 25 going to a Safe Place. Fairwinds clients might like them too, and we need to increase the meals we’re delivering. 
There will be a “December Sing” at 7 PM on the Friday of Stroll weekend with a reception to follow in the church. A BIG shout out was given to Libby, who will be receiving the Achievement of Merit Award from the Chamber of Commerce on Monday Oct. 18th. 

RECTOR’S UPDATE
There is the hope parish-wide dinners may begin again. The Ships Inn dinner was a fabulous success.
Max said some of the Nancy Broll music fund money might be used to write a Jazz Mass in her honor. 

WARDEN’S REPORT
Libby thanked everyone for getting things done.  Bob explained how he had been the officiant at an outside wedding last Sat. with 120 people; he now has new admiration for Max and all those who perform weddings.
