Virtual Church Council

Our congregation is required in its bylaws to hold an annual Church Council - on the second Sunday of November "or such other time as is set by the Board."  Based on the recommendation of the PEC, the Board postponed the meeting until January, and then in January had to postpone it again.  Finally, they decided to hold a Virtual Church Council.  Every household should have received a mailing with Church Council reports.  That document can be downloaded as a PDF here:

Nominations

We need to elect THREE new board members and ONE Salem Congregation Trustee.

For Church Board:

• • • Mary Bergstone
    • June Edwards
    • Paul Sluder

For Salem Congregation Trustee:

• • • Greg Gentle
    • Tripp May

Since we need to elect three local Board members, and three were nominated (there were no additional nominees from the floor) then we will vote to accept the slate as put forward by the Nomination Committee.

The Nominating Committee nominated Greg Gentle to run again for an additional term on Salem Congregation Central Trustees.  An additional nomination was received from the floor for Tripp May.  Therefore, when you vote, you will cast a vote for either Br Gentle or Br May.
