Annual Meeting

The Annual Meeting will be Sunday, May 17 (the third Sunday in May), at 5 p.m. We will receive the Annual Report, vote to elect new members for our boards, committees, and other ministry leaders, and select members for the new Nominating Committee. We will also vote on the budget for the new year. We need to approve the purchase of the last two houses on Seminary Avenue, for which the congregation gave preliminary approval in March 2015. There will be an update on the capital campaign and our plans for renovations in the Crossings building (aka Toms-Price) and additional parking. It will be an important meeting, so please mark your calendars.
