4.  Vestry Committees

A.  Vestry Committee Participation

The Vestry welcomes congregational participation in the work of the Parish and wishes to give every member the opportunity to serve on a Vestry or Parish committee in order to contribute to the development and spiritual life of the Parish.  In September, the Senior Warden will circulate a list of the Vestry committees along with their responsibilities and  will ask for written “expressions of interest” from members of the congregation who wish to serve on a Vestry Committee. During September, the church office will place an insert in the regular Sunday bulletins soliciting “expressions of interest” in serving on a Vestry Committee from members of the congregation.  In addition the church office will send an identical copy of the announcement by electronic means to all congregants and will cause a similar announcement to be inserted in the September Parish Newsletter.  The announcement[s] will, in addition, state that all “expressions of interest” should be forwarded to the church office or lodged with the Senior or Junior Warden.

After reviewing the list of members who wish to serve on a Committee, the wardens, in consultation with the Rector, make Committee assignment recommendation for approval by the Vestry.  They may ask current committee chairs to continue to serve for another year, or they may appoint new committee chairs in consultation with remaining committee members.

B.  Election of Regional and Diocesan Delegates.

1. Introduction.  The Vestry is charged by Diocesan Canons with electing delegates to the Regional and Diocesan Councils, and an alternate to the Diocesan Council. On the west, the Diocese extends North from Harrisonburg along the West Virginia border and has a southern border along the James River.  The eastern border extends from Charles City (half way between Richmond and Williamsburg on Route 5) north and includes all of the Middle Peninsula and Northern Neck.    The Diocese is divided into 15 geographical regions, and Cunningham Chapel Parish is in Region 14 which includes the counties of Clarke, Warren, Frederick, Page and Shenandoah.

2. Council Delegate Requirements.  Delegates to the Regional and Diocesan Councils must be adult communicants in good standing, must possess a desire to serve in the larger church , must be willing to prepare for and attend council meetings as scheduled and make reports of council activities to the Vestry and congregation.

4.Terms of Service.  Terms of service both for Regional and Diocesan councils are six years:  three years as an alternate, and three years as delegate.  Alternates may attend any meetings of any council, but will not have formal seat, voice and vote until they become delegates.

C.  Vestry Retreats and Workdays

Each Vestry organizes itself for ministry as soon as it can after the annual congregational meeting.  The Rector and Wardens schedule a one-day Vestry retreat early in the year, and they may schedule and plan other work days to set and monitor goals, conduct a Mutual Ministry Review, to review performance, and to consider new directions in mission and ministry.  Attendance and participation at these retreats and work days are implicit in anyone’s willingness to be elected to Vestry service.

Appendix B—Mutual Ministry Review

Introduction

The purpose of the Mutual Ministry Review (“MMR”)  is to define the ministry of the Parish,  and provide the Rector, Wardens and Vestry with an opportunity to assess how well they are fulfilling their responsibilities to each other and to the ministry they share.  To this end, the Rector, Wardens and Vestry will establish goals for the work of the Parish for the coming year, isolate areas of conflict or disappointment which may be adversely affecting mutual ministry and clarify expectations to help put any future conflicts in manageable form.  The MMR is not a performance review, which is conducted once a year for employees and other paid staff.  Our MMR is to be conducted within the spirit of the  Employment Agreement between the Rector and the Parish which provides for an annual MMR to meet the following objectives: 

1. Provide the Bishop, Rector, Wardens and Vestry opportunity to assess how well they are fulfilling their responsibilities to each other and to the ministry they share.

2. Establish goals for the work of the Parish for the coming year.

3. Isolate areas of conflict or disappointment which have not received adequate attention and may be adversely affecting mutual ministry.

4. Clarify expectations of all parties to help put any future conflicts in manageable form.

A mutually agreed upon third party may be engaged to facilitate the ministry review process.

Procedures

The following procedures serve as guides for organizing a MMR and can be varied as circumstances suggest.

1.      The MMR seeks input from the entire Parish with regard to the effectiveness of the Parish ministry.   Accordingly, the Parish office will solicit input from the congregation with a survey to be distributed to congregation members prior to the MMR.  Ideally, the survey will elicit comments on the various ministries which might include, among other items, Parish administration (Vestry and Rector), worship, education,  doctrine, outreach and fellowship.

2.      The Vestry will establish an MMR committee to review and compile data for dissemination at the MMR, which will include the Rector, a Warden, and at least one other Vestry member who will chair the committee.

3.      At the MMR retreat, the trained facilitator will manage a process which will at a minimum  cover the items listed above and  help us answer the question “how well are we doing together?”

4.      The Culmination of the MMR, in addition to the establishment of goals for the coming year, is a set of recommendations that will celebrate our strengths and address and correct our weaknesses.

Appendix C—Cunningham Chapel Parish Memorial Garden

Purpose of the Memorial Garden

The Cunningham Chapel Parish Memorial Garden is located in the Christ Church Close between the church and rectory.  The Memorial Garden may be used as the final resting place for those who choose cremation.  The Memorial Garden is consecrated to the memory of those whose ashes are interred there.

Use of the Memorial Garden

Interments (burial services) are usually held in the context of corporate worship on Sunday, but can be held in Christ Church, with a service, or in the Garden, without a church service, at the discretion of the family.  Alternatively, the Parish will inter the ashes privately with a service for the family at some convenient time after the actual interment. 

In the Memorial Garden, there are no urns or markers of any kind.  The Parish will provide hand-sewn white linen bags for the ashes and will transfer the ashes from the crematory container into the linen bag prior to interment.  Names of those interred in the Memorial Garden, and the locations of the interment, are recorded in a red leather book kept in the  office and on the  web-site.

The Parish makes no charges for the interment, if the deceased is a member, but cannot handle the cremation and transfer of the ashes to Christ Church which must be arranged with a funeral home or otherwise privately.  Non-members may be interred for a donation of $1500.

The Memorial Gardens Committee overseas the use, maintenance, care and administration of the Memorial Garden

Gifts

Gifts of funds for maintenance of the Memorial Garden and plant placement are welcomed.  Gifts of plants must conform to the landscape of the Garden and must be approved by the Memorials Committee.
