by Katie Ahearn, Senior Warden
The January Vestry meeting opened with Bible study (Luke 24: 13-35) led by Mark Preston. The December minutes were then approved.
Dave Garlow, Junior Warden, gave us a detailed, final update on the building upgrades. All outstanding issues have been resolved. He thanked the Vestry, the Dream Team, and The Bethlehem School for making his job as Junior Warden easy.
Kwame Ofori-Asante presented the Treasurer’s Report. He reported that we are close to budget on income. The Bethlehem School has agreed to an increased annual rent formula. Rental income is also expected from the Lynnfield Youth Soccer organization. In terms of expenses, our Diocesan Assessment increased by $5,000 and our Green Loan payment per month is $1,014.
