There will be a meeting of the congregation on Sunday, January 29, to be held immediately following our worship service. The following business will take place:
- The congregation will vote on the pastor’s annual terms of call.
- The congregation will vote on the proposed slate of church officers.
- The 2023 Budget and the overall financial situation of our church will be presented and discussed
- Each committee chair makes a brief presentation about the work that committee accomplished in 2022 and plans for 2023.
HOW DO NEW CHURCH OFFICERS BECOME INSTALLED?
Step 1: Nominating Committee presents slate of officers to the Session who sets the date for a congregational meeting. [DONE]
(NOTE: the Session does NOT vote on proposed church officers except as part of the congregation.)
Step 2: At the congregational meeting on January 29th, Pastor Mark introduces the chair of the Nominating Committee who presents the slate of proposed officers to the congregation for a vote.
Step 3: If the slate of officers is approved by the congregation, all of them meet with Pastor Mark for general church officer training, as well as training for their specific job descriptions.
Step 4: The Session “examines” the nominated officers during a Session meeting to gauge their fitness for office. Once the examination is over, the Session votes on sustaining their examination.
Step 5: The new church officers are ordained and installed during a worship service sometime in early February.
