January 2009

A Happy New Year to everyone! We hope that you and all your loved ones may enjoy bountiful blessings from our Lord in the coming year.

In many households, the New Year is a time for making resolutions and organizing ourselves for the months ahead. The same is true at Pohick. On the first two Sundays of this month (Jan 4 & 11) we will revisit our 2004 Strategic Plan, inviting the congregation to offer new ideas for mission and ministry in an updated version. Read more in the Rector's Annual Report, which also reflects upon Christian call to heroism in our present moment.

One way to be a hero to some young people is to serve as a tutor in our Gunston Tutoring program (page 5), which will be starting up this month. We're still looking for volunteers; email GunstonPartners@gmail.com if you're able to help.

Elsewhere, read about the Vestry elections at the Annual Parish Meeting and December Vestry Meeting (page 3), and reflections by our Assistant on New Year's Resolutions (page 11). Also, as a special to this month's Epost, browse through the newly digitized Colonial Vestry Minutes, available online for the first time ever. Makes for some great historical reading!.

Remember, the main body of the E-Post is now published in Adobe Flash and requires the Flashplayer plugin. Download it here for free if you do not have it installed. Then, simply view below to read the file containing the articles. You may also download a pdf version.

As always, don't forget to send your Pohick Post Articles to Lori Buckius at raebuck@aol.com before the monthly deadline (15th). Pass on any comments or concerns about these pages in an email to Dick Heintze at heintzer@pohick.org or the Rector at dbinder@pohick.org.
