VOTERS MEETING 

There are just over two weeks left until we will gather together for our Spring Voters Meeting on April 22 at 6pm in the Worship and Event Center.  During this meeting, we will conduct a vote to start a pledge campaign--meaning we would form a team to encourage the congregation to pledge (not yet pay) funds toward the proposed School Building Project.  The number of pledges received will help determine how we proceed with building plans.   All congregation members 18 years or older are eligible to vote.  Please take time to learn about the proposed building changes - available in detail on Church Center under "School Building Project".  Register to attend the April 22nd Voters' Meeting on Church Center or by calling the church office.
