Vestry Committee Functions:

The Vestry welcomes congregational participation in the work of the Parish and wishes to give every member the opportunity to serve on a Vestry or Parish committee in order to contribute to the development and spiritual life of the Parish.  In September, the Senior Warden will circulate a list of the Vestry committees along with their responsibilities and  will ask for written “expressions of interest” from members of the congregation who wish to serve on a Vestry Committee. During September, the church office will place an insert in the regular Sunday bulletins soliciting “expressions of interest” in serving on a Vestry Committee from members of the congregation.  In addition the church office will send an identical copy of the announcement by electronic means to all congregants and will cause a similar announcement to be inserted in the September Parish Newsletter.  The announcement[s] will, in addition, state that all “expressions of interest” should be forwarded to the church office or lodged with the Senior or Junior Warden.

After reviewing the list of members who wish to serve on a Committee, the wardens, in consultation with the Rector, make Committee assignment recommendation for approval by the Vestry.  They may ask current committee chairs to continue to serve for another year, or they may appoint new committee chairs in consultation with remaining committee members
