A draft budget was submitted for fellowship review. The draft budget can be found here. In order to keep the meeting moving, extended discussion was deferred until the next board meeting. All congregants are invited to attend the meeting on Monday, June 20th at 7:00pm to offer input. The meeting will be conducted over Zoom. Further, a commitment was made to provide more detailed financials (including the Income & Expense report YTD) in the near future.

Suggested bylaw changes were not reviewed at the meeting, as originally planned. These will be provided to the fellowship for a vote at some point in the future.

The fellowship still needs to vote on the proposed Social Justice distribution recommendations for the year. The Social Justice report can be found here. Provided there is a quorum at this Sunday’s service, we will take a vote on whether to approve the recommended distributions. Please review the report beforehand so you can cast your informed vote.

Thank you to the following officers and volunteers who will be leaving their position at the end of this church year. We appreciate their years of service.
