In short, the Vestry guides and supports the people. While "Vestry" is an old English term, its value is essential to the life of any Episcopal parish. Meeting once a month and around a meal, our Vestry makes decisions about resources and finances, always leading as followers of Jesus. Everyone is invited to attend a Vestry meeting.
