St. Peter’s Vestry

“Keep watch over yourselves and over all the flock, of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God that he obtained with the blood of his own Son.” - Acts 20:28

What is the Vestry?

“The vestry is the legal representative of the parish with regard to all matters pertaining to its corporate property. The number of vestry members and the term of office varies from parish to parish…The basic responsibilities of the vestry are to help define and articulate the mission of the congregation; to support the church’s mission by word and deed, to select the rector, to ensure effective organization and planning, and to manage resources and finances…”

Vestry Prayer

Lord, you called the disciples to put their nets into deep water, to reach new depths as you stood beside them. Be with us now as we continue that mission in all we do as a vestry. Fill us with your spirit, help us to know that we are only rowing the boat, not steering it. Lift up our sails with the breath of the Holy Spirit and our souls with the peace that only you can give. Remind us that the whole Communion of Saints encircles and upholds us. Ours is but a mission for a short time, Lord, so help us to do our work faithfully and joyfully, knowing that we will be guided by your love if we only say the word. Come, Lord Jesus, come. Amen.
