The outgoing Vestry members who also constitute the Nomination Committee are Karen Brukardt, Dave Backs and Sue Wilhoit. The nomination forms may be found in the hallway in front of the Pastor’s study. They specify the minimum qualifications to serve on the Vestry. Please submit your nomination to the committee. Any questions regarding a person’s qualifications should also be submitted to the committee. Any parishioner who is 18 years of age or older, and who is a communicant in good standing is eligible for the Vestry. This means, among other things, that the person attends regularly, supports the church, and pledges. The same criteria defines those who are eligible to have seat, voice and vote at the annual meeting. If you haven’t made a pledge, you have seat and voice, but no vote, pursuant to our bylaws.
