We hope to see you at the Annual Meeting on Sunday!
January 22, 2023
11:30am
We will begin the meeting in the sanctuary immediately following the postlude. Those on zoom, join us about 11:20am and please be patient for the room to be opened. You can follow the 10am service Livestream and when it ends, the Zoom Room will open.
Zoom - https://us06web.zoom.us/j/4883550916.
Lunch will be provided after the business part of the meeting in the Parish and Johnstone hall. We will break up into table and/or zoom breakout rooms to share an important event in our lives that marked our coming into adulthood. For me, it was the first time I went out with friends without asking for permission or letting anyone in my family know where I was or where I was going. By the way, it was to the Dairy Queen!
We will send out the full Annual Report with our 2022 financials via email on Friday.
Nominees for Vestry 2023
Tammy Murray
I view serving on vestry as an opportunity to give back to St. Michael's. I have previously served as a member on vestry and was also Senior Warden. My involvement in the life of the parish also includes Altar Guild, EfM and fundraising. I have facilitated and participated in team building activities and strategic planning over the years for St. Michael's. It would be an honor to serve St. Michael's vibrant congregation once again in this way.
Renee Pierce
I am a committed, active member in the St. Michael's community. I served as a leader in various capacities, including as Senior Warden at the height of the Pandemic and shutdowns. I demonstrated an ability to lead with a love of service and Evangelism in my time on Vestry, as well as on the Bishop Transition, Stewardship and Fundraising Committee's.
Chris Chamness
I am blessed to be a lifelong Episcopalian and love what St. Michael's offers in religious services, educational ministries and community outreach. I am a retired military logistics officer with an MBA degree. As a practicing attorney at law, I advised small businesses and start-ups as well as starting my own small business in 1988. I served as a Vestry member from 2019 to 2021 as well as Stewardship Committee Chair and found the duties to be very fulfilling.
Nominees for Diocesan Convention 2023
Holly Yue
Representing St. Michael's at the Diocesan Convention again in 2023 would be an honor! What a great opportunity to learn what is happening in the Diocese of Northern California and in the greater church, as well as to share with others the good work we are doing as a congregation in our own community. I have attended convention several times, once with St. Michael's. Convention is also a wonderful opportunity to spend quality time with people from our own faith community of St. Michael's - truly a blessing!
Kate Muris
I have been a delegate a number of years. I want to continue being a delegate as I have learned much about our church and recognize it is growing and changing, as I believe it must. I feel I have an open mind tempered by experience and a willing heart to listen and discern.
Sr. Tina Francesca
I have been a delegate to convention five times during my forty-nine years attending St. Michael’s. I am interested in the life of the wider church family and the ministries that draw the world to know the Trinity. It is exciting to experience the wider Episcopal Church through listening, seeing, and working with others to spread the gospel while engaging in corporate worship, and ministry in representing St. Michael’s.
Renée Pierce
This will be my third time serving as a delegate. I feel my experience with various ministries such as the vestry and serving as the senior warden make me an ideal candidate. My love and commitment to St. Michael’s calls me to this ministry.
Mary Davy
I have served as a delegate several times in the past. I served a number of years on the Diocesan Commission on Ministry, Committee on Lay Ministry and also led the Bishop Search Committee in 2018. These experiences gave me an appreciation and knowledge of the variety of challenges our diocese faces, as well as the many wonderful ministries that are being done in the Episcopal Church throughout Northern California. I would be honored to serve as a delegate representing St. Michael’s.
Suzanne Phinney
Suzanne and her family are long time members of St. Michael’s. She has served on the Vestry, the Campus Space Committee which oversaw the renovation and the Stewardship Committee the last few years. Suzanne has been very active and involved over the years in a number of areas. Suzanne looks forward to representing St. Michael’s by serving as a 2023 Diocesan Convention Delegate.
Janice Bowdler
I am a long time member of St. Michael’s and active participant of our ministries. I have served as a Diocesan delegate several times and would be honored to serve again. I feel this is an opportunity to further my involvement while at the same time represent us at an important time.
