Trinity Church, Shelburne, Vermont - Praying the prayer, studying the mind, and doing the deeds of Christ.

The Vestry, at Trinity as in Episcopal Churches throughout our Diocese, is the elected governing body of the parish. It is a group composed of the Rector, and 11 members from our congregation. The parishioners who serve on The Vestry are elected for three-year terms. The business of The Vestry involves the temporal affairs of the church. Vestry meetings occur once a month, and are public if members of the parish wish to attend.

Members of the Vestry represent the parish, and are charged with knowing the concerns and 'pulse' of our church community. The meetings involve discussion of; parish concerns related to finances, property assets of the church, programs offered to parishioners, and general oversight of the workings of our church community. Participation in this governing body is encouraged, and anyone seeking more information or wishing to serve on the Vestry may speak with a current Vestry member or church staff.
