As many of you know, Patrick Early is at home recovering from foot surgery. We have set up a meal train to help provide him with meals during his recovery, which is estimated to take about three weeks.
At our 16 December 2012 Congregational Business Meeting, we passed a provisional budget and have scheduled a special congregational budget meeting for 20 January 2013 at 12:30 PM (immediately after the Sunday worship service). If you have not yet provided your 2013 pledge to the church, please do it now.
In accordance with the bylaws of our church, and as Secretary of the Board, I hereby announce that All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church will hold a Congregational Meeting.
On the Agenda:
Please make every effort to attend. Childcare provided.
All active members should attend this meeting or give their written proxies to those who can. We must have a quorum.
Inactive members and friends of the church are invited and encouraged to participate, but bylaws stipulate that only those members who have been active 30 days or longer may vote.
By now you have probably heard from your friendly pledge steward, and you’ve had a bit of time to consider your own finances, your sense of ownership in the church, and the different kinds of gifts that you bring to our faith community and receive from being a part of it.
Please make every effort to get your pledge form turned in by this Sunday (9 December 2012). The Finance Committee will be meeting on Tuesday (11 December 2012) to determine the 2013 budget.
Many thanks for your support of the church!
On Sunday (30 September 2012) immediately following the 11:00 AM worship service, the Exploratory Committee will present the first in a series of town hall meetings.
This committee appointed by the All Souls Board to explore the options for the geographical future of our congregation will host the first of a series of informational Town Hall Meetings to report on its findings so far.
