NOTICE of Congregational MeetingMessage from Board Chair: Cheryl Caldwell Dear friends, There will be a congregational meeting after service on Sunday, September 22. Lunch will be provided. The purpose is to present the Board’s priorities for JBUC and to engage the congregation in a discussion about them. For the purposes of the meeting, we will be focusing on priority #4, the safety plan. Please consider these questions when looking at the safety plan priority and be prepared to discuss. Does the priority resonate with you? What would we need to do as a congregation to bring them to fruition? What do you see as your role? Your needs? What can you do? We are excited to hear your thoughtful reflections when we gather on the 22nd. Cheryl Caldwell
The Board of James Bay United Church has established the following as the Priorities for JBUC: 1- We commit to attend to all church activities* through a “Green New Deal” lens. It is our sacred duty to live in harmonious relationship with all creation – the most precious and profound of all God’s gifts. 2- We commit to create a culture that invites people of the congregation to boldly name their sense of call, testing if there are others who feel the Spirit’s stirring to join them, in the hope that shared ministry will grow within and beyond the congregation. 3- We commit to pursue ways of deepening relationships 4- We commit, to the best of our ability, to create a safety plan For more infomation visit: http://jamesbayunited.com/events/congregational-meeting--399/2019-09-22 |
