ANNUAL MEETING INFORMATION
The ANNUAL MEETING of the Halifax Congregational Church will be held on Sunday, March 6, 2022, after the church service. In addition to the usual business of hearing reports of officers and committees, filling various positions, and voting a budget, we will be voting to become designated as an “Open and Affirming Church”. As part of the ONA designation the ONA sub-committee is asking that the membership amend our mission statement to include the following wording:
“Following the teachings of Jesus Christ we believe all people are the children of God and therefore declare ourselves to be an Open and Affirming congregation and welcome all into the life of our church regardless of but not limited to their gender identity, sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, economic status, physical and mental ability, marital status, or age.”
Also the Trustees will be asking for funding of a special project. Details will be presented at the meeting.
“Please make every effort to attend. If you are not able to attend in person we will be offering a “Zoom” alternative. If you wish to attend the meeting via Zoom please email me (rkniffen@umich.edu) and I will send you the link.
There will also be a potluck lunch served. Please bring something to share.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me (rkniffen@umich.edu)
I look forward to seeing on the 6th.
God bless you all,
Bob Kniffen, Moderator
