Candidates to the Parish
The following individuals have been chosen as candidates to the vestry and to the endowment committee for the election. The current vestry recommends this slate of candidates to the parish in addition to our delegate endorsements to annual convention.

We are also amending the church bylaws at the meeting Sunday. The vestry has approved, and seeks the congregation’s approval, of amended and restated church bylaws. These changes will be enacted contingent upon the approval from the Diocese.
The first proposal is to change the required date of the annual meeting from February 1, to no later than February 15, to allow staff a little extra time to account for year-end issues, which can arrive in early-mid January. The second proposal is to allow for the Treasurer to serve up to six one-year terms, instead of a maximum of three years. This change allows for better continuity of the position. Finally, the proposed revisions would establish a separate Real Estate Endowment to allow the church to accurately and transparently account for church-owned real estate assets outside the main church campus, which are necessarily different from the assets in the traditional endowment.
