Congregational Voters Meeting

Change to the schedule for congregational voters meetings in 2024. The change in schedule was made to give members a better opportunity to attend the voters meetings where there may have been schedule conflicts with other activities outside of St. Paul’s or where the normal congregational voters meeting time of 7PM was a problem for members who cannot drive at night.

The schedule for 2024 congregational voters meetings is as follows:
Sunday, January 21st after worship service, in the Bethany room/Fellowship Hall
Sunday, April 21st after worship service, in the Bethany room /Fellowship Hall
Monday, June 24th – 7PM in the Bethany room/Fellowship Hall
Sunday, August 18th after worship service, in the Bethany room/Fellowship Hall
Monday, November 25th – 7PM in the Bethany room/Fellowship Hall

There will be a babysitting service available for families with young children who want to attend the Sunday voters meetings that will be held after worship service. Heidi Wildauer has agreed to organize this. If you have interest in using this service or in assisting in providing this
service, please contact Heidi.

If you have questions regarding the congregational voters meetings or schedules for them, please contact Dave Burcham.

Voters’ Assembly Information – I have recently been asked about maintaining voting privilege at Voters’ Assembly meetings. I’m sharing here a section of what the bylaws of St. Paul’s say about Voting Membership. St. Paul’s Constitution and Bylaws (Bylaws Article 2 Section 3)

Section 3. Forfeiture of Voting Membership The Recording Secretary shall keep the voters informed of their voting status via
the published minutes of the Voters’ Assembly… A member who is absent from Voters’ Assembly for 12 consecutive months
without having offered an excuse to the Recording Secretary or Executive Director shall forfeit his voting membership until reinstated in accordance
with procedures in Section 1 of this Article.

If you are unsure of your voting status, please check the latest minutes of the Voters’ Assembly. The list of eligible voters is attached to the minutes. If there is a meeting scheduled and you know that you will be absent, please contact the recording secretary (Ken Eichinger) or Executive Director (Dave Burcham) to excuse yourself. The minutes are usually available in the narthex the Sunday after the meeting. If there are no copies available in the narthex, contact the recording secretary.

If you would like a copy of the entire St. Paul’s Constitution and Bylaws, contact the recording
secretary or inquire at the church office. — Ken Eichinger
