Notes from our Vestry Meetings
Nominating Committee & Annual Meeting
A Nominating Committee, chaired by Senior Warden Dan Mitchell with members Catherine Hines, Ciara McElroy, Sharon McSorley and Mark Popham, has been formed to begin developing a slate of candidates. The open positions are as follows:
Junior Warden, serving a 2-year term
Three Vestry members, each serving a 3-year term
Three 2025 Diocesan Convention delegates, 1-year term
Three 2025 Diocesan Convention alternates, 1-year term
The Annual Meeting is scheduled for Sunday, February 9th following a single Eucharistic service. In addition to these elections, we will have time for fun, food and fellowship at the Annual Meeting. Our budget and other selective ministry reports will be shared. It is a great opportunity to come together as a parish family to celebrate what we have done and to discuss where we are going.
If you are interested in learning more about these open candidate slots, are interested in running or would like to nominate someone (with their permission), please contact any of the Nominating Committee members. It is an exciting time to accept the invitation to get involved in boldly moving St. George’s forward in living out her mission to becoming that diverse community of companions for life’s journey to explore our faith, to seek justice, and to strive to be agents of transformation and healing.
All members of St. George’s are invited to submit recommendations to any member of the Nominating Committee for nominees, including themselves, for Vestryperson prior to January 12, 2025. Other nominations, with the consent of the nominees, may be made from the floor at the Annual Meeting. Qualified candidates must be baptized, and confirmed, at least 16 years of age, of good moral character, adherents of the Protestant Episcopal Church, regular attendees at services for the past six months, and regular contributors to St. George’s for the past six months.

Rev. Grant opened the meeting with a Scripture study of Luke 17:1-10. Dan Boylan reported that 10 parishioners were trained in a recent adult and child AED/ CPR training with another training planned for Spring 2025. The Vestry reviewed the plans for the next fire drill which will occur before the end of the year. Aleeda Crawley noted that the recent All Saints Wine and Cheese “fun”d raising evening exceeded the $6,000 revenue goal and a debriefing meeting will be held to review lessons learned. Treasurer Neil Marks presented the October P&L Report noting that the 2024 pledge and plate is on track to slightly exceed budget and the expenses are being maintained within budget. The Vestry approved the 2023 audit report and authorized the $195,000 expenditure for the kitchen renovation contract. The Vestry reviewed a preliminary 2025 budget, noting that tough decisions will be required when the budget is to be finalized at their special December budget meeting. Rev. Grant closed the meeting with a prayer.
