Covenant Members,
 
This email is to inform you of news from our Church Council.
 
From the findings presented in last week’s update from the Way Forward Committee, the Way Forward Committee recommended to Church Council three resolutions.
  
Bonnie Blackman, our Church Council Chair, discusses actions Church Council took.
The three recommendations presented from the Way Forward Committee to the Church Council are as follows:
1)    Educate Covenant Members on the issues within the UMC
2)   Work through the means available to disaffiliate from the UMC
3)   To call a church conference of church members to vote on whether to disaffiliate from the UMC and if a majority approves it, to then hire National Center for Life and Liberty to pursue the necessary means.
 
All three of these recommendations were unanimously approved by Church Council. We will share more information and updates at the Town Hall on November 13th.  
 
Next week, in video #3, we are sharing personal testimonies of faith and trust from Terry Tysinger and Dan Stageberg. We hope these stories of faith from church members help inspire and encourage us as we move forward with next steps in this process.
 
Below you will find a button to submit questions for our Church Council. These FAQs will be presented and answered at the Town Hall on November 13th at 3pm in the sanctuary. Also below are a few resources to help with further information.
