The Vestry of St. Timothy's Episcopal Church

The Vestry of St. Timothy’s Episcopal Church is a 12-member board of parishioners elected by and representative of the parish to fill the lay role in church governance.  Each January at the annual meeting, four members are elected to replace those whose terms are ending.  A Senior Warden, this year Joy Rouse, is then appointed by the Rector, and the Junior Warden, now Steve Crock, is elected by the vestry.
 
This year we began the year by creating three documents to be the foundation of our work: Vestry Responsibilities (a revised job description), Vestry Norms (how we do this job), and Vestry Covenant (how we seek to conduct ourselves as members of the St. Timothy’s vestry and greater community).
 
All are living documents and will be revised as times and circumstances change. I invite you to read especially this Covenant and join us in committing to it as a way of being an active member in the St. Timothy’s family following the teachings of Jesus.

Joy Rouse. Senior Warden
