Congregational Meeting November 22

Greetings from St. Mark Council,

We are writing to formally announce a congregational meeting to be held on November 22, 2020. The purpose of the congregational meeting is to elect a slate of nominees to serve as the Call Committee as we begin our search for a new associate pastor.

Our constitution states that this committee must be elected by congregational vote at a meeting of at least 75 members.  Voting by proxy or absentee ballot is only allowed when calling a pastoral candidate, as we did on August 30th when we called Pastor Chad to be our new senior pastor.  Because of that, we will need to hold this meeting in person, and only those present will be able to cast a vote, as per our constitution.

Since we need to gather in person, we will have a drive-in worship service at 9:30 am on November 22nd, followed immediately by this brief congregational meeting.  Like all services recently, this one will be available via live-stream for those unable to be in attendance.  The council and Worship & Music committee will do everything possible to make the morning a success, no matter the weather forecast; however, extreme weather may still force us to cancel. If you are unsure on that morning, please call the church or check our website, Facebook page, or app for any cancellation notices.

We are excited to have a slate of nominees who represent many different areas of our congregation.  The nominees are Diana Berg (chairperson), Stella Schroeder, Ron Lundstrom, Jim Claerbout, Nicki Schroeder, Jimmy Ivacic, and McKenna Anderson.  We hope you join us for this necessary meeting on November 22nd!

In Christ, 

The St. Mark Council
