Annual Meeting
Sunday, May 18, 2025
Will be held during the service. We will be voting on our board members and a proposed change to our by-laws. That change would be increasing our board from five members to seven members. Please plan to attend the meeting.
Dear Friends,
Looking forward to meeting our guidance minister, Tom Bozeman, on Saturday, May 31, during our workshop with him. The workshop will begin at 9:30 am and last for 4 hours. He will also be with us at our Sunday, June, service. The service will be followed by a congregational conversation.
