Vestry

From Your Senior Warden:
2010 Vestry Nominations

The St. Michaels Festival of Faith and Annual Meeting will take place on May 2, 2010, and it will soon be our responsibility to elect three new vestry members for three year terms.

The criteria for nomination to the vestry include that one be a confirmed member in Good Standing of St. Michael’s Church and be at least eighteen years of age. In addition the general guidelines for a member of St. Michael’s vestry are no different from the principles of Christian duty spelled out for every Christian in the Prayer Book. We are to follow Christ, to worship God week by week in His church, and to work, pray and give for the spread of God’s kingdom. As a leader, however, your witness will be especially important. The moral standards reflected in your life; your faithful attendance at services in St. Michaels; your active participation in parish activities led by others; the evidence of prayer and study of Holy Scripture; and your commitment to support the Lord’s work with a tithe of your income are all aspects of your witness to your fellow parishioners.

It is important that those agreeing to have their names put in nomination for vestry service have an understanding of these criteria.

Please give prayerful consideration to this very important matter of the 2010 nomination and election of new vestry members. If there is a parishioner whose name you would like to put in nomination, please contact that person, be sure they understand the expectations for vestry service, and get their permission for the nomination. Then submit the name in writing to Brenda Georgi, Chief of Administration, brenda@stmichaelschurch.net. The names must be submitted by March 15, 2010 to give time for consideration by the Nominating Committee before all nominations are published prior to the Festival of Faith.

God’s Peace,

John Sosnowski
Senior Warden
