> 
> Liturgical Architect Visit
> Sunday, 17 February
> We will be welcoming Terry Eason, a well-known liturgical architect based in
> North Carolina. The Vestry has invited Terry to attend both services that day
> and to meet with the congregations afterwards to hear to their ideas,
> comments, and suggestions on  how we might enhance our worship space. Terry
> will be reporting back to the Vestry at a later date with some possible
> options. As we all know, the pipe organ in the chancel is close to the end of
> its life and will not serve us much longer.  No decisions have been taken
> about a replacement, but in thinking and studying how to replace it (a process
> that has been going on for some years) we have learned that installing a new
> pipe organ may necessitate some changes in the layout of the chancel.  This is
> an opportunity for us all to meet and to discuss together the possibilities
> together as we embark upon such an important decision in our community life.
> 
> 
> Save the Date: 
> St. John¹s Preschool/Parish Auction
> Saturday, 1 March
> Parishioners are urged to volunteer
> efforts and items for the auction.
