Have YOU considered running for Vestry?!
It is often said that Vestry meetings are “the business meeting of the church,” and while that’s somewhat true, the Vestry also consists of spiritually grounded persons who seek to further the mission and ministry of our Church. It is a group that is necessarily concerned with both the “why” (why we do what we do as church) AND the “how” (the logistics of carrying that out). Members serve for a three-year term and are eligible to serve for as long as six years. We have a monthly meeting on the second Wednesday from 7:30pm to 9pm, and we adhere to that time limit. Some years we have a Vestry retreat. Ours is a working Vestry, meaning that each member takes ownership of an area of ministry. This arises out of the member’s own gifts and passions.
The Vestry is an integral part of the parish! No one person can run this place alone — and no one should. But if you’d like to see St. Nick’s grow and thrive, your being on the Vestry would be the most efficient and helpful way to make that happen. Either the Rector or any Vestry member (listed below, along with the year their terms expire) would be happy to talk with you about what it’s like to be on the Vestry.
