Vestry
The Vestry is an elected body of parishioners and serves as the corporation of the Church. In Episcopal polity, the Vestry serves the fiduciary interests of the parish. The Vestry makes financial decisions, maintains the property, sets the by-laws of the parish, and, with the Bishop’s approval, calls the rector of the parish. Advent’s Vestry consists of nine members, elected in three classes of three to serve three-year terms. The Vestry meets on the third Tuesday of every month at 7:10 pm. Meetings open with Evening Prayer. All Vestry meetings are open to all members of Advent.

Emery Washington Convocation
Convention delegates and alternates are elected at the annual meeting of the congregation for staggered three-year terms. The number of delegates is based on average Sunday attendance. Our convention delegates attend the annual diocesan convention in November and attend the Emery Washington Convocation meetings meet monthly, in order to facilitate communication between parishes and the Diocesan Council. These groups also propose resolutions to be considered by the Diocesan Convention.
