March 5
We know, a conversation about bylaws may not sound very exciting. But you know what is really cool? Being a congregational church is really cool. This means our annual congregational meeting offers all church members an opportunity to participate in the governance, financial planning and overall direction of our church. On Wednesday, March 5, a Zoom forum will prepare you for some of the votes coming up at the Annual Meeting on March 23, including a bylaws revision to make our new ministry circles governance structure official, approval of the 2025 operating budget, and approval of officers, ministry circle co-chairs (also known as deacons), and standing committees of the church council. Please join us and BEEEE in the Know!
For a copy of the By Laws Revision, please visit the 2025 Annual Meeting page where documents for the March 23 Annual Meeting will be posted for congregational review.
February 12
This Zoom forum will give the congregation the opportunity to learn about our ministry circles – how they further the core values of our church and how the circles participate in our overall governance structure. For many years, our church struggled to fill many volunteer roles, often three-year commitments, to run various boards and committees of our church. Coming out of COVID, our people power had diminished and we decided to experiment with a new way of operating our church governance, administration and ministries. In 2023, our four ministry circles emerged – Financial Development & Asset Management, Heartfelt Service, Extravagant Welcome and Spiritual Nourishment. Come learn more in preparation for our annual congregational meeting on March 23 when we vote to change our bylaws to embrace this new structure.
January 29
The Kitchen and Accessibility Renovation Team (KART) will talk about how church leadership has been preparing for over ten years for a major renovation of our church Parish Hall. We will screen-share schematic designs for the renovation that were presented at a congregational meeting in July 2022. At that time, the congregation authorized us to continue our efforts to further the parish hall renovation project through research and conversations with the Town and potential donors. We are hoping that 2025 will be a year of great progress for this initiative. Please join us to learn more and find ways to support this effort!
