Chair – The Rev. J. M. (Sonny) Browne, III

The vestry is the elected parish council. The vestry members are elected to a three year term, and the terms are staggered to ensure continuity from year to year. The vestry at Trinity consists of nine communicants in good standing – faithful in worship at the Eucharist as well as private devotions and faithful in giving of time, talent, and treasure. These communicants are financially and legally responsible for the parish church. The vestry meets once per month and holds one or more workshops each year.

Annual Parish Meeting The Annual Parish Meeting was held on The Second Sunday in Advent - December 7, 2008.  At this meeting, the congregation elected three new communicants in good standing to serve a three year term on vestry (parish council):  Charlie Elks, Carol Taylor, and Sallie Williamson.  Three delegates and no alternate were elected to a one year term as the parish delegation to diocesan convention. The 126th annual diocesan convention was held in New Bern from February 5-7 at the Waterfront Convention Center.  At the 2009 Annual Parish Meeting, we'll again elect three new vestry and three delegates to convention.
