Dear Friends in Christ,

On 13 December 2020 the membership of St. Stephen's will be meeting after the service to elect Church Council members. This will be done on Zoom. For those of you who do not have the ability to do Zoom, we will be at the church from 12pm to 2pm to allow you to do drive through voting.


FIRST: We will be electing three members to the Council. To be on Council you must be a member of St. Stephen's and be willing to serve for two years. With the Pastor and the other Council members, your job will be to help guide the life and activities of St. Stephen's. If you are interested in being on Council, please contact Curt Williams or Pastor Mandy.


SECOND: We will be voting on the second approval for the changes to our Constitution. Many of these changes are required to align our Constitution with that of the ELCA. The link with the changes to our Constitution is below.


Sincerely,

Curt Williams

President of St. Stephen's Church Council
