Hello congregation! October means it is time for our Annual Congregational Meeting! We will meet after Worship on Sunday, October 5th. PLEASE be there. We are voting on the Director of Education and Engagement position, electing three new Church Council Members, voting on a change to section C11.02 in our Constitution regarding elections and officers, and voting on our new budget! YOUR INPUT MATTERS.
As of right now the following people have agreed to run for Council: Jean Gaston, Deanne Snyder, April Osterstock, and Stephanie Derstine. If anyone else would like to be added to the ballots, please let me know before the end of September. We will also take any write-in candidates at the meeting. Council members and those who wish to vote in our election must be members in good standing, meaning that in the past year they must have attended, donated, and received Communion in the past year. If anyone has questions, please ask.
Here are a few highlights from September’s Council meeting:
- Council accepted the resignation of Lindsay Collins as our Treasurer. We appointed April Osterstock as temporary treasurer until another permanent appointment can be made.
- We approved council reports that details continued efforts in all areas of our church. Thanks to all those committee members who dedicate so much time for the good of all.
- We got updates about the digital sign, our picnic grove (wood chips), and other property projects.
- We approved membership for Stephanie Derstine! Welcome officially to the Mt. Zion family!
Our next meeting–a reorganization meeting with new members–will take place on October 16th due to several schedule conflicts.
Remember — Mark your calendars for Oct 5th’s meeting. See you there.
