Congratulations to Howard Helvey and Brad Caldwell, whose marriage took place on the morning of December 24. May God's blessings be with them and their life together for many years to come.

Profile Gathering on January 8. The first of six profile gatherings will take place on Sunday, January 8 at 12:00 noon in Hannaford Hall. This is a meeting for the whole congregation to begin to discern the kind of church that Calvary is, its core values and mission, and eventually the kind of rector that fits Calvary's distinctive identity. Your input will be important in creating the parish profile that will be the primary initial document for potential candidates. Food will be served, so you won't go hungry.

Still looking for nominees for vestry and diocesan convention delegates. The deadline for nominations is January 8, and nomination forms are located in Hannaford Hall. Elections for these positions will be held at the Annual Meeting on Sunday, January 22 at 12:00 noon.

Christmas and other photos needed! If you took pictures of the Christmas Eve services, receptions, coffee hours, and other activities and are willing to share them, please email them to Judy Gardner, our parish administrator. We would like to share our good news with others, and want to print photos in the Chimes, on bulletin boards, and eventually in the parish profile.

Our 9:30am family service needs a planning team. Hannah Teetor, our Calvary intern, has left at the end of December to pursue her studies at Emory University. She has been a vital part of our 9:30am service, and we are grateful for her ministry with us. Her departure has left a hole in the leadership team for that service. If you attend this service and see its importance in the life of the community, please prayerfully consider becoming part of the Family Worship Planning Team. Contact Joanna or Sally if you are interested.
