ANNUAL PARISH MEETING
Our 2026 Annual Parish Meeting will be held on Sunday, February 15, immediately following the 10:30 service. A light lunch will be served.
At this meeting we will get an update on the rector search and the budget for 2026 will be presented.
We will also be electing one new person to our Vestry, and we need to elect 3 delegates for the 2026 Diocesan Convention. This convention is when we will elect our new Bishop for the Diocese of Florida, so delegate selection is important.
If you would like to run for Vestry or serve as a delegate, please submit your name to churchoffice@graceop.net. To serve in either role, you must be a Confirmed member of our church.
