Last Sunday at the Annual Parish Meeting I appointed Will Aldrich as the new Senior Warden and you—the parish—elected Julie Martinson, David Morgan, Joan Collins, Sandi Brooke, and Tom Anderson to the vestry. I am thankful to them who, as a witness to their stewardship, have agreed to serve as the class of 2017. We here at Trinity, Reno appreciate the hard, faithful work of our vestry. They practice their stewardship with their time—they are in church every Sunday, their abilities—they serve the parish in many different ways, and their money— everyone pledges and supports God’s work through Trinity Church, a beacon of Christ’s presence in the heart of Reno. Fr. John Thank you. TrinityEpiscopalChurch 200IslandAve.;P.O.Box2246;Reno,NV89505 775‐329‐4279–[email protected] WWW.TRINITYRENO.ORG
