Management
The spiritual oversight and management of St Mary's involves many people working
together in unity.
Annual General Meetings of Church Members occur each year during Feb/Mar for
designated leaders to report and recommend and for the congregation to
recommend, discuss and decide on matters of importance. We keep an up-to-date
"electoral roll" of those who are eligible to vote on such occasions.
To check if you are on this roll or to discuss about joining it please contact
us.
Management Committee (Vestry)
The
People's Warden and the Vestry (formerly the Management Committee) are (re)elected at the Annual
General Meeting. The church wardens and priest attend vestry
meetings with the elected reps. The vestry oversee the spiritual
and physical welfare of St Mary's. They meet monthly (usually on the 3rd
Wednesday evening) and as necessary delegate responsibilities for particular
matters to individuals or small groups. Minutes of recent meetings are posted
below. They are also available for inspection in the "minute book" usually
located on a table in the foyer of St Mary's.
