It’s Vestry Nomination Season!
The Vestry serves as the governing body of St. Peter’s. It works with the Rector and other clergy, the administrative staff and parishioners to achieve the church’s goals and missions. Twelve parishioners serve on the Vestry, divided into three classes of four persons each. Nominees to fill the four Vestry terms which will commence at the end of the year are now being sought. Members of St. Peter’s will vote on the nominees. The new terms will begin in January 2025. To serve on St. Peter’s Vestry one must be confirmed in the Episcopal Church, a member of St. Peter’s for at least one year, and have made an annual pledge. Inasmuch as the Vestry meets monthly and its duties involve a wide range of ministries—including stewardship, youth and family, property, worship and music, missions and outreach, parish life and newcomers, pastoral care—Vestry members should be full-time local residents. If you are interested in serving on the Vestry or wish to nominate someone, please advise our Vestry nominating committee: Stu Brahs, Dan Somerset, Lee Peters, and Pat Casadei.
