St. Luke's Episcopal Church

 The Vestry is the elected temporal and spiritual leadership of the congregation, comprised of a maximum of twelve members.  It oversees the buildings, furnishings, and preservation of all Church properties, complies with the Canons of the Church as to bonds and audits, and transacts all temporal business of the Parish.  The Vestry members are elected at the Annual parish meeting in January of each year; one third of the members are elected each year for a three year term.  A Vestry nominee must be a communicant in good standing, at least 18 years old, canonically a resident of the parish, and a verified financial supporter of record.  Each Vestry member is responsible for leadership in a working commission.  Vestry meetings (the third Tuesday of every month at 5:00 p.m.) are open to all members of the parish.  Those planning to attend a Vestry meeting are urged to check with the Parish office to be sure there has not been a change in the schedule.
