In 2007, the Vestry of our church formed a Discernment Committee for Congregational Growth. The purpose of this committee was to consider the issues surrounding how the congregation has grown and may continue to grow, and what growth means for St. A's. For example, would we want to alter our physical space, add new services, or adjust service schedules? Following the growth that has occurred in our congregation over the past few years, there are now:

• 127 registered households
• 313 parishioners
• 64 children enrolled in our Sunday School

• Father Brad, Sunday September 30
• Joe Kolanko, Saturday September 22
• Greg Kaebnick, Sunday September 30

On Sundays April 20 and 27, 2008, the Discernment Committee posted presentation boards in the Fellowship Hall, outlining their preferred solutions to our current situation of overcrowding. Parishioners' written comments on the various options were solicited and turned over to the Vestry to consider in making their decision on how to proceed. The Vestry is expected to make their decision regarding our future plans in June, for implementation by the end of Summer 2008.

Our thanks again for your support of this discernment.

If you have any questions, please contact Father Brad or any member of the vestry.
