January 21, 2021: Annual Meeting

Grace and Peace,

Only one thing to highlight today. Our annual meeting is set for this Sunday, Jan 24th at 11am on zoom. Here is what you need to know.

  • To ensure a quorum, please “sign-in” using the chat feature. No need for an email address this time and two people may sign in at the same time. Ex. Tim and Vicky Krick
  • When we ask for an approval of a motion, all you will need to do is raise your actual hand to vote, “in favor,” “opposed,” or “abstain.”
  • The votes we need to do are, 1) approve the Ministry Allocation Plan (budget), 2) elect new council members, 3) elect Synod Assembly representatives.
  • We will also hear from Cristina Dolcino, the Council President, and myself as we give a pre-recorded, “State of the Church Address.”

I know these aren’t the most exciting things to do, but they are important. Plus, during the “State of the Church Address” I will share where I believe we need to move toward as a congregation and how to begin having those conversations. This won’t be about “what changes need to happen” but rather how do we begin even understanding what changes need to happen and why certain changes need to happen.

To make it an official meeting, we need a quorum of 40 people. I am confident we will get that but please don’t assume we will get there without you. We want all people to be part of this process.

Thanks for being part of our faith community and helping us all learn more about what it means to be a follower of Jesus.

“See” you on Sunday.

Pastor Tim
