Dear Friends,
As we know, the regular pattern of Sunday morning worship has been disrupted, due to the current pandemic. The regular Vestry (annual meeting), which had previously been scheduled for 7 February, has been postponed. After consultation with the parish wardens and members of the Spiritual Development Committee, I propose that two meetings take place.
Notice of First Vestry Meeting: Saturday, 6 February
The first St. Brice’s Vestry meeting for 2021 will take place during the current lockdown. It will take place using the Zoom on-line platform, on Saturday, 6 February 2021, starting at 1pm (you can sign in any time after 12:40pm). This is a special Vestry meeting, to address property matters (particularly the parish hall roof), and our intent to apply to the Anglican Foundation for financial support.
Here is the information to join the meeting on-line:
Topic: St. Brice’s Vestry Meeting — Property
Time: Feb 6, 2021 1:00 PM

Directions to Join the Meeting
If you would like to participate, but are unused to using the Zoom platform, there are parishioners who are willing to coach you. Please contact the parish office by the end of this month if you would like help.
If you do not have access to the internet, but have free long distance phone calling for Ontario, you can join the meeting by calling: 647-558-0588.
If you would like to participate in the meeting, but cannot use the internet (not “don’t want to,” but “can’t”), and if you can’t afford the long-distance charges to call by phone, please contact the parish office by the end of this month, and we will try to make arrangements for you.
Notice of Second Vestry Meeting: Saturday, 20 February
The second St. Brice’s Vestry meeting for 2021 will take place two weeks’ later, on Saturday, 20 February 2021, starting at 1pm. The ban on large gatherings may be relaxed by this time. If so, this meeting will be a hybrid of an in-person and on-line gathering. Parishioners are still encouraged to meet on-line. People who are unable to meet on-line can gather in the parish hall, still observing the social distancing directions, and wearing masks. This meeting will include adoption of reports, and other regular business.
If the current lockdown is extended through 20 February, this meeting will be on-line only.
