Each summer the Parish Committee holds a retreat to reflect on the long-range vision and mission of the church and to plan for the coming year. This year’s retreat will be held at the church on Sunday, August 25, from 10:00-5:00. Attendance is limited to PC members and the Minister.

In the spring of 1991, the Parish Committee voted to take an unprecedented action to establish for this Society an award to be presented to a worthy person, annually, if advisable. The award would recognize a person’s service to this Society over many years in many different ways. It is in essence an unsung hero sort of award.

The end of the church year is drawing near and we can be proud of all we have accomplished. Our church board – the Parish Committee (PC) – has been very busy all year, working to streamline procedures and manage all the needs of the church, from keeping our beautiful building in good shape to supporting programs and special events.

The Elsie Gaudette Award can be given this spring (the third Sunday in June) to a person who exemplifies the service and dedication to this church that Elsie did for many years. The Elsie Gaudette Award Committee will be meeting to review the nominations.
