Vestry News
Annual Meeting
The Annual Meeting is scheduled for Sunday, February 12, 2012.
This year's annual meeting is an especially important one. In addition to voting for new vestry members and hearing a recap of the year's activities, we will be voting on whether or not to proceed with the recommendations in the capital campaign feasibility study.
Those attending the 8:00 a.m. service will vote for vestry members immediately following the service. At 9:00 a.m. the heads of our various ministries will present brief reports on the last year's activities and plans for this year. Parishioners attending the 10:00 a.m. service will vote after the service.
Following the 10:00 service the vestry results will be announced and the vote will be taken on the feasibility study. The study will be available to all parishioners on or before February 8 so that you will have an opportunity to read the report prior to the vote.
Vestry Nominees
David Brummitt
After 20 years in the Air Force, traveling around the world as an airlift pilot, I am thrilled to be back in my home town of Coronado. As a 46 year-old, I am starting a second career as a high school math teacher and am on track to be credentialed by the end of January following a rigorous two year program. Upon returning home after 24 years of military service, I instantly recognized the spark within Christ Church and wanted to worship here and be of service. I have learned a tremendous amount from leadership and other Vestry members in my temporary one year appointment and would like to continue building that knowledge base. I will seek to apply prayer and reason to make my Vestry service both joyful and effective and look forward to sharing my time and efforts within the Church community.
Glover Ferguson
I received 10 years of primary and secondary school education in Episcopal schools, graduating from Iolani School in Honolulu. I received a BS in economics from Claremont McKenna College and a BS and MS in Industrial Engineering from Stanford University. Subsequently, I worked 30 years in Accenture (formerly Andersen Consulting), retiring in 2005 as the Chief Scientist of Accenture Technology Labs in Chicago, Illinois.
Kathy and I purchased our house from my (retired navy) parents and alternated our residence between Coronado and Wheaton Illinois every quarter from May 2005 until June of 2011 and now we live here permanently. Our youngest son lives in La Jolla. Our eldest son lives in Corpus Christi – he was married in Christ Church and returned to have our grandson baptized here.
At Christ Church, I manage eBay sales for the Thrift Shop, help count the offering, and am member of the Parish Investment Board and the Gift Acceptance Review Committee.
Jamie Glorieux
I have been a member of Christ Church since first coming to Coronado in 2005. My wife Carlin and I have been married for ten years and have three sons, Pete, Steven and Greyson. Pete, 4th Grade, and Steven, Kindergarten, are both currently enrolled at Christ Church Day School. Greyson is attending his last year at Graham Memorial Pre-School, and is looking forward to attending Kindergarten at CCDS in the fall of 2012. Our family is actively involved in CCDS, as well as the local community from Coronado Youth Soccer League, and Coronado Little League T-Ball to the local Cub Scouts Pack 122 of Coronado.
I am an accountant by trade and have been with MedImpact Healthcare Inc. since April 2008. I have been in accounting for over twenty years. My previous experience includes positions with the Walt Disney Studios, Warner Bros. Studios, Universal Studios and Western Mission Mortgage & Properties. I hold a B.A. degree in Corporate Communication from the University of Hartford, with post-graduate work in Business Administration at Pepperdine University. I was in the United States Marine Corps and am a candidate for the CPA. I am also an inactive member of Rotary International and actively involved with the Boy Scouts of America, and am on track to be the Cubmaster of Coronado Cud Scout Pack 122 for the upcoming school year.
Murray (Murf) Smith
It’s indeed an unexpected honor to be nominated for membership on the Vestry. I’m a life-long Episcopalian and regular, pledging communicant of Christ Church since I, my wife Michiko, and our children Christopher and Lenea moved to Coronado 12 years ago. I attend the 8:00 a.m. Sunday service, serve as one of its lay readers, and am an active participant in the Men’s Bible Study and evening Christian book study group. I’m a retired Lieutenant Commander (Medical Service Corps) in my 45th year of Navy service, 29 of them as a financial officer. I currently serve Naval Health Research Center on Point Loma as its command evaluation officer and an acquisition manager for its DoD HIV/AIDS Prevention Program. When my family previously resided in San Marcos, I served Grace Episcopal Church as its treasurer and a vestry member for 10 years, and was among the Faith Alive team which visited Christ Church in the late ‘90s. The experience, knowledge and strengths gained over my Navy career and service to Grace Church are what I can best offer this Vestry. If elected, I’ll serve faithfully and diligently to help it accomplish its share of the Lord’s Work on behalf of and through us all.”
