Our Bishop’s Committee

Each month, our Bishop’s Committee meets to make resources available for St. Bede’s ministries.  We break Bread together, pray for guidance by the Holy Spirit, and steward God’s gifts.  Currently, the Bishop's Committee is meeting via Zoom.

Our Wardens
Our wardens help govern our church by listening to our members and the community.  They also assist the Vicar (priest) in leadership of the Bishop’s Committee.

Our Senior, or Vicar’s Warden
Karen Bathgate
Karen was selected by the Bishop’s Committee to assist the Priest in Charge and new Vicar in the transition, as well as see to the administration of the church.

Our Junior, or People’s Warden
Arthur Ferguson
Arthur was selected by the Bishop’s Committee to help the congregation connect to the Priest in Charge and new Vicar during the transition, as well as to assist in the administration of the church.

Our Treasurer
Joe McGuire
As St. Bede's Treasurer, Joe records information about our church’s finances and makes reports to the Bishop’s Committee.  This important data allows the Bishop's Committee to make wise decisions about St. Bede's resources.  

Our Clerk
Kathleen Ebbert
Kathleen was selected by the Bishop's Committee to help St. Bede’s maintain records of its decisions at Bishop’s Committee Meetings.  She prepares monthly meeting Minutes.  Kathleen also covers the Bishop Committee's Annual Meeting to which all St. Bede's Members are invited.
