The vestry and clergy spends a weekend in strategic session at Roslyn each year. "Roslyn" is the Diocese of Virginia conference center located on the banks of the James River in Richmond.
Days are spent in planning sessions, which allows team members to work through opportunities and important issues facing the church. Evenings include fellowship and quality time together reflecting on the days' topics. The occasional evening game also enables members to team-build and relax a bit.
January's vestry meeting is held during the retreat, and new church wardens and officers are voted upon for the upcoming year. The 2010 wardens are: Jim Hale - Senior Warden and Geoff Kilmer - Junior Warden. In addition, Pam Howie was voted as Register for the third year and Vivian Stein was voted as Treasurer again.
Vestry retreat weekend is a time of hard work, growth, and building for the future.
