Vestry Election Results

"O Eternal God, the foundation of all wisdom and the source of all courage: Enlighten with your grace the Vestry of this congregation, and so rule their minds, and guide their counsels, that in all things they may seek your glory and promote the mission of your Church; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen."

Dear friends in Christ,

I'm delighted to share the results of our vestry elections held during the first session of our annual parish meeting last Sunday, December 8.

The incoming class of vestry members is as follows: Jack Drake, Bernard Hufft, and Kyle McGucken will serve three-year terms, concluding in 2027. Dane Peterson was elected to serve the remaining two years of a former vestry member’s term.

We also elected Saint Andrew’s lay delegates to the 194th Annual Diocesan Convention, to be held January 30–February 1 in Decatur. 

Delegates are Jack Drake, Rebecca Drake, and Mikaela McGucken. Alternates are Phyllis Benington and Kyle McGucken.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to those who have accepted the call to serve on vestry, one of the most significant ministries that members of the church take on.

Thank you to our outgoing vestry members—Ben Johnson, Katie Short, and John Vintson—for their faithful and steady presence during these last few years of significant transition in our common life. You've been well-represented by their prayerful leadership. I encourage you to join me in expressing gratitude for their service and wisdom and praying for them as they step into new opportunities to serve.

The second session of the annual meeting will be held Sunday, February 2 after the 10:30am Mass.

Yours faithfully~

Fr. Peter
