Think again
Congregational Meeting this Sunday, Nov 17
A message from
Cambridge Ridley Lynch
Director of Curriculum & Lifelong Learning
Dear friends,
This Sunday we will gather in person and on Zoom for an important vote on the future of our church. We will hold a congregational meeting after our service for members to vote to affirm the vote of our board to affiliate solely with the United Church of Christ (UCC). The board vote was taken after prayerful consideration and full discussion of our new responsibilities under a reorganized Collegiate governance structure that gives us more autonomy. The resolution adopted by our board is attached (see link) and copies will be available on Sunday.
In preparation for our congregational meeting, we have held learning sessions before church and distributed a comprehensive guide to our current dual affiliation (link attached), reasons for a single affiliation with the UCC, primarily because of its policy of inclusion, and the protocol for the process.
On Sunday, at 10:00 am, you can engage in informal discussions with our board members about the vote. Please join us in Rooms 1 and 2 or on Zoom. Also please feel free to contact any of us on the board with your questions and comments before our vote on Sunday.
Our future as West End Church is in all of our hands. I look forward to our meeting this Sunday.
Warmly,
Cambridge
