Vestry Spotlight

A sheet of music with the words he walks with me on it

At All Saints, our Vestry plays a vital role in guiding and supporting the life of our parish. Made up of 15 dedicated members, with one-third elected each year at our fall parish meeting, the Vestry helps shape the future of our church. To help you get to know the faces behind the decisions, we're offering a Vestry spotlight series.


First up is our Senior Warden, Martha Bains. A member of All Saints for about 15 years, Martha is now in her third year on the Vestry. “One of my favorite things about All Saints right now is that in this position I get to work closely, not just with our amazing vestry, but also with our wonderful church staff and clergy,” she says.


Two traditions close to her heart are the way so many come together on Holy Saturday morning and December 23rd to prepare our church for Easter and Christmas—moments that reflect the spirit of community she loves most.

At All Saints, our ministries thrive because of the faithful people who give their time, gifts, and hearts to serve others. Each volunteer carries a story of how this work has shaped their own life, deepened their faith, and brought the mission of our church into the world in tangible ways. Through Volunteer Highlights, we invite you to learn more about those who serve among us. By celebrating these stories, we not only honor the individuals who serve, but also invite each of us to see how God is at work in our common life together.
