REFLECTIONS

At last year’s Church Conference, this past November, I stated that one of my goals for the coming year was to streamline our governance structure. The Church Council began the year with a discussion about the possibility of making some changes. A task force was formed to come back to the Council with a proposal. Some of the reasons for exploring streamlining the structure are to cut down on the bureaucracy to facilitate ministry, fewer people needed to fill leadership positions, and enable people to engage in their passions.

The Council received the task force’s proposal and after discussion recommended that it be forwarded on to the District Superintendent for her approval. After receiving the District Superintendent’s recommendations and approval, the Council once again discussed the proposal and recommended that it be sent to a Church Conference for approval and implementation.

A Special Church Conference has been called for Sunday, May 15th, at 10:45 a.m. in Ficklin Hall. This will be your opportunity to ask questions and make comments and vote on the proposal. Please take the opportunity to review the proposal and attend the Church Conference.

See you in church,

Doug
