January 17, 2025

On Sunday, January 12 we celebrated the installation of the 2025 Church of the Holy Comforter Vestry. Each year the congregation elects four new members of the Vestry to serve on this twelve-member group of leaders, for a three-year term. These members are representatives of the church who are leaders willing to learn and engage others to participate in the work of the church. The Vestry is responsible for the parish finances, buildings and grounds, stewardship, and partners with other ministry leaders to oversee God's spiritual work. Each Vestry member assumes a leadership role in the ministries of the church. Learn more about the Vestry.
