Annual Meeting: Sunday, Feb. 5
The Annual Meeting will take place next Sunday, February 5th at 11:00 am. The 9:30 am service will be the only service. The 2011 Annual Reports are available for pickup now in the parish office, and will be distributed at the meeting.
At a special brunch following the meeting, we will celebrate the gift that has been Charlie Rhudy's leadership as Senior Warden for the past four and one-half years. Years that brought more hope and challenge, grace and guts to the fore than this parish (or Charlie, for that matter) probably ever imagined. So, come, cheer, and celebrate the many quiet and not so quiet ways Charlie has served this congregation with distinction, integrity, and faith! See you there! Judy+

Moveable Feast is Back!
It's a wonderful way to care for our fellow St. Paulians--whether in times of sadness, illness or even happiness. To get this underway, we need to grow our roster of cooks. The other end of this program is letting the church know that you need a meal. If you are in need, or you know of someone who might need a meal, please contact one of the clergy or Pam Pellegrini (203.209.1752 or pampell60"at"gmail.com).
