special song, prayer and reception. THANK YOU to everyone who wel­comed new members over the past year. THANK YOU Vestry for staying in touch with them.

THANK YOU Sue Boujoukos for greeting them in the Narthex, cof­fee hour and sanctuary Welcoming new members is important because People looking for a church home are on a spiritual journey.
