Annual Congregational Meeting

We need to ensure we have a quorum for our annual Congregational Meeting in order to transact the church's business including the budget for the upcoming year. Your participation is VITAL This is when we elect our new council members and your opportunity to raise issues and ideas as we move into the new year. Your Voice Matters and we want to hear from you.
SAVE THE DATES
January 19th and January 26th
Congregational Photo
and
New Directory Picture Opportunity
One of the things you have brought to the attention of the Visioning Committee is a need to update our directory so we can better reach out to one another and to our community. Let's "FACE IT" - People like to be able to see and put names to faces and the directory of Members and Friends helps us to do that and makes it more inviting and comfortable for visitors who may not know anyone in the congregation. So-bring your best smiles on January 19th and January 26th. Our own Paul Jensen will again be offering free pictures following worship so we can update our directory for 2025. We will also be taking a full congregational picture outdoors by drone (weather permitting) on the 26th so prepare to stay and join in! Let's make it a mighty showing of strength in numbers! THE MORE SMILES THE BETTER!
