The format will follow last year's meeting - a shortened service followed immediately by the Annual Meeting. We will be electing a Vice-Chair for the Board, 1 Trustee, 2 members for Ministry and Personnel Committee, 2 members for Mission & Services, 1 member for Finance Committee and 1 member for Worship committee and 2 for Nomination Committee. These positions must be filled to ensure effective succession planning. Please plan to attend.
We ask that the congregation with Last Names from A-L bring squares, M-Z to bring sandwiches. Come and enjoy the lunch and fellowship following our meeting.

THANK YOU
We extend our special thanks to Al Busche for the great job he did on the front cover of this year's Annual Report.
