• The annual Congregational Meeting will be held today after a brief fellowship meal. All congregation members are encouraged and welcome to attend. (In case of a weather cancellation, the meeting would be Jan. 15).

• The officer elections to be held at this meeting are for a 3-year term. The Consistory nominates for Elder: Ron Mittelstaedt; and for Deacon: Rich Reineking. Please prayerfully consider these candidates in light of God’s description of these offices, found in 1 Timothy 3:1-13, Titus 1:5-16 and 1 Peter 5:1-5.

• Our local Constitution states that one additional nomination for each position may be made by congregation members in good and regular standing. This nomination may be made as late as the day of the meeting. However, it is best for any potential nominee to have more advance notice, so please bring any additional nominations to the Consistory as soon as possible.

• There are General and Benevolent financial reports on a table in the fellowship hall. Please take one in preparation for the annual meeting.
