PLEASE READ THIS IN IT'S ENTIRETY BEFORE FILLING OUT YOUR NOMINATIONS:
Every year our church holds an annual Church Conference in May we call VISION WEEKEND, to recognize the end of another fiscal year, and the beginning of a new one. This year this event will occur in each one of our worship experiences on Sunday May 18. During the worship experience we will reflect and celebrate on the last year of ministry together, and look forward to the future.
Traditionally we have also elected Fusion Partners to serve in various lay leadership positions as well. However, starting this year, those elections will happen earlier in April. In preparation for this we convene a nominating team, appointed the prior year, who review congregational nominations submitted by YOU, and then present a list of approved candidates for the FUSION PARTNERS to vote for in April.
