Cell Rollover

Endowment Committee, as a sub-committee of the Finance Committee, meets under the authority of the Vestry to manage the parish investments. Members are selected and authorized by vote of the Vestry. Contact: Cub Morgan 978-356-3824

Finance Committee members work with the Parish Treasurer to oversee the finances of the parish. They help the Vestry by gathering information to prepare initial drafts of the annual budget. Contact: Beth Dixon 781-598-2466

Gardens Committee is responsible for the maintenance of our gardens, as well as long-term planning for planting. The committee works with the Buildings and Grounds Committee to see that plantings are weeded and watered in the summer, and that spring and fall clean-ups are provided each year.

Hospitality Committee coordinates the hosting of the various meals and receptions for significant occasions throughout the year, including coffee hours following Sunday services, and socials following choir concerts and Evensongs. Contact: Joanne Johnson 978-465-1064

Stewardship Committee works throughout to help educate and guide the parish in the practice of year round stewardship of all our resources toward the realization of God’s reign on earth. Contact: The Rev. Bradford Clark 978-356-2560

Beancounters count the Sunday offerings following the 10:15 AM Sunday service, prepare the deposit, and deliver the bank bags for overnight depositing. They are an invaluable assistance to our Treasurer and Bookkeeper, and they also provide the cross-checking essential to sound fiscal practice. Bookkeeping skills are not needed; skills required are the ability to count currency, record amounts accurately, and value the confidential nature of individual offerings. Contact: John Walker 978-356-9853

United Thank Offering is received twice each year throughout the Episcopal Church. While the national in-gathering last year was nearly $3 million, this offering is as much about personal growth through thankful prayer as it is about providing assistance. Since the UTO is maintained by an endowment, none of the funds raised goes to administration. The funds support the mission of the Church in this country as well as in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Europe. Contact: Isobel Coulombe 978-356-4939
