We started this committee in the vestry to suggest changes in the way we worship. Some of our parishioners were excited about different experiences they had when visiting other churches. Others requested different music and different seating arrangements. The committee currently consists of three vestry members who meet regularly with the rector to discuss changes.
Parishioners are welcome to join.
The congregation objected to having the last 6 pews off-limits, and we have removed the ropes. The experiment with the altar party was a success. We installed new lights. We began to look at our music. We asked the organist and rector to shorten some of the hymns, and to change the tempo of others.
