Bishop’s Committee News
The Bishop’s Committee met Sunday, April 15 and discussed the need to firm up our concept of our strategic plan, so that we can ensure that this is reflected in our identity designs, such as letterhead, brochures, etc. Bob D. will organize the information shared in the CAT survey and will present the conclusions to the congregation, along with the explanation that this will be a living, changing process.
There was also discussion of what kind of information we need to pull together to have available at the St. Nicholas table that we will host at Little Boots Rodeo.
Bob K. reported that we are currently well within the anticipated range of income and expenses. Expenses continue to exceed income, but the figures are within a few hundred dollars at this point.
We Love Our P.A.D.S. Volunteers!
All are invited to help celebrate our 20th year of service at a Volunteer Recognition Luncheon to be held on Sunday, April 29th, from 2pm to 4pm. The gathering will be held at Christus Victor Evangelical Lutheran Church. Fun, games, raffles prizes and a Split the Pot raffle, too. Invite friends and family to come and enjoy. Please RSVP to Ann DeBartolo by April 23, 2012 (contact info available, email info@stnicholasepiscopal.org).
P.A.D.S., on a seasonal basis, serves the homeless and needy in the northwest suburbs, and has sites throughout the Village at a number of houses of worship.
