Every spring, Voting Members are asked to cast ballots for the proposed coming year’s church budget; candidates for our Board of Trustees, Nominating Committee and Foundation; and any other special items that must come before the congregation. And this year, there is something very special indeed that will come before the congregation: voting to call a new Senior Minister!

To be eligible to vote, our Church’s Bylaws and Governing Policies require the following conditions, which must be met by Monday, April 4:

• You must first become a member by signing our membership book (or, in these virtual times, “signed on” by being in contact with Rev. Thomas Disrud). 
• A member must make and at least partially fulfill a pledge that is generous within their means to the annual operating fund of the church each year … 
• Members must have made a pledge and a payment on their pledge within the preceding 12 months to be a considered a voting member of the church.  
• Members who are ready to make the commitment to the church to be voting members but who are unable to make a financial pledge can obtain a waiver of the pledge from a minister.
