The vestry nominating process is meant to be on of mutual spiritual discernment. Therefore, we should seek to choose vestry members that we know to be prayerful, knowledgable of Scripture, who have a personal relationship with Christ, and a desire to serve Him by serving this parish. If you are nominating someone other than yourself, please obtain that person's permission prior to submitting his or her name.
