An Announcement to the Congregation at Trinity
June 23, 2009
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:
I am writing to inform you about a change in the elected lay leadership at Trinity effective this past Tuesday evening. Shortly after the Annual Meeting, Sara Carson informed me that she was not able to continue to serve as one of our two wardens at Trinity Church. Her letter of resignation reads as follows:
June 2009
Dear Friends on the Vestry:
Due to unforeseen circumstances, I will not be able to fulfill the term of Warden to which I was just elected.
It has been a privilege and a joy to serve both on the vestry and as a Warden of Trinity Church.
I know that Trinity Church will continue to be one of the rising stars of Hartford.
With blessings,
Sara
Sara asked me to assure everyone that neither she nor David is ill – but she is looking forward to a brief sabbatical from official duties.
At its regular meeting on June 16, the Vestry accepted Sara’s resignation with regret, and determined to plan an appropriate “thank you” in due course. Sara has been remarkably devoted to her duties as Warden over these past four years, and her energy and leadership will be sorely missed on the Vestry and by me personally.
Trinity’s By-laws permit the Vestry to either fill or not fill a vacancy in elective office for the period of an unexpired term. Warden Al Shuckra and the Vestry were unanimous in their desire to fill the vacant Warden’s position, and following the recommendation of a sub-committee convened on June 14, unanimously elected life-long parishioner Barbara (Boo) Morton to fill Sara’s unexpired term until the 2010 annual meeting. The Vestry voted not to fill the Vestry vacancy created by Boo’s assumption of the warden duties.
Please take the time to thank Sara for her dedicated service as Warden during these past four years, and please pray for Al, Boo and the entire Vestry as they continue to lead our parish into our 150th Anniversary year.
Your brother in Christ,
Don+
