Annual Meeting of the Congregation
2017-06-11 11:00 - 12:00

New Member Info Session
2017-06-04 11:30 - 12:30
New Member Information Session

We will soon offer an information session for all who are interested in becoming members of the church. All who are interested in exploring membership are welcome to attend the session, which will take place right after the worship service on Sunday, June 4th. We will load up our plates with snacks from coffee hour and meet together in the large classroom for 90 minutes. It’s so fun for us all to get to know each other a bit more!
The advantages of becoming a church member are that members are able to take part in leadership positions, and all members are able to exercise a vote at our congregation’s annual meeting and other special meetings (called when important decisions must be made). Membership is a sign of a desire for an increased threshold of participation in the vibrant, joyful, illuminating, and outreaching life of our church. There is never any pressure to join the church, ever. There is always a warm invitation to do so, though!
Please let Pastor Mary know if you’d like to take part in the new member information session. We hope to receive all those interested into church membership the following Sunday, June 11th, which is also the date of our congregation’s annual meeting (held right after worship). So, please save both dates: June 4th and June 11th!
God bless us all as we look forward to new adventures in God’s love with new members on board!
