Annual Parish Meeting

St. Martin's Episcopal Church is in the Episcopal Diocese of Missouri which requires all parishes to hold, on the last Sunday of January each year, an annual meeting to elect successors to any members of the Vestry whose terms of office are expiring and to transact any other business properly brought before the meeting.

• All who attend St. Martin's are invited to this meeting which will begin in the nave with the Holy Eucharist at 9:00am on Sunday, January 26, 2025. (This will be the only worship service held this weekend. The 505 resumes the following Saturday.)
• Mother Leslie will give a special address during the sermon time that reviews the year just past and looks forward to the year ahead.
• Immediately following the Eucharist, the meeting moves to the parish hall where a brunch will be served & the meeting resumes.

Who may vote?

All communicants in good standing who are at least 16 years of age and who are registered in the parish with their date of baptism are eligible to be an elector. Should you wonder if you qualify, Mother Leslie will be able to answer that question.
