Make plans now to attend this night of celebrating what God has done and is doing in our churches. The business portion of the meeting will only be yes or no voting.
All maters that require a vote will be sent out at the end of September to the churches via email. This will allow time for any questions or concerns to be addressed before the meeting. Looking forward to our fellowship together!
