As I hope you have seen in the previous weeks, the church council has some constitutional amendments that the congregation needs to vote on. This voting will take place on October 11. You can either attend the meeting via Zoom (recommended) or in the church building. Here are the important dates you need to know:

Forums for Questions:

Wednesday, September 9 at 7pm on Zoom

An optional forum held via video call where you can ask questions about the proposed amendments. No official business will be conducted; this meeting is not mandatory. If you did not receive the email with the Zoom link, email the church office at welcomehome@faithshelton.org.

Sunday, September 13 at 10am at Faith (in person)

An optional forum held in person where you can ask questions about the proposed amendments. No official business will be conducted; this meeting is not mandatory.

Practice Zoom call:

Saturday, October 10 at 10am on Zoom

If you will be attending the voting meeting on Zoom, you are invited (but not required) to attend this practice session. This session will get everyone comfortable with logging on, will allow your church staff to practice making sure that only voting members are present, and will let us practice voting to make sure that votes are counted correctly.

Congregational Meeting to vote:

This is the meeting where the actual voting will take place.
