Dear Fourth Church,

Good morning! Two Information Sessions are slated for this Sunday in preparation for the February 12 Annual Congregational Meeting. To learn about proposed revisions to the church bylaws, attend one of the presentations by the Bylaws Review Committee in The Commons (Room 231) at either 9:00 or 10:30 a.m., followed by a time for questions. To talk with Finance and Stewardship Committee members about the 2023 budget, stop by Room 132 at either 9:00 or 10:30 a.m.

Information packets covering the agenda for the Congregational Meeting (officer candidates, the 2023 budget, proposed bylaw changes, and minutes from the 2022 Annual Meeting), along with the 2022 Annual Report, are available in Halverson Hall, the Main Office, and the back of the Upper Room.

Grace to you,

Susan Kemp
