Pastoral Call Meeting: Sunday, November 1

Dear Brothers and Sisters at Messiah,

A Special Voters meeting will be held on Sunday, November 1, 2020 immediately following Messiah’s 10 am service, starting between 11:15 and 11:30 am.  The purpose of the meeting is to consider our Call Committee’s latest recommendations, and to work together to call a pastor to be our next shepherd at Messiah.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the state of emergency in the State of Michigan, special arrangements will be made to conduct this meeting in as safe and prudent a manner as possible.  Please directly contact Jonathan Chaffer, our congregation president, or Mark Altemann, the chairman of our call committee, for further details.

The Call Committee will once again present a short list of finalists, who we will review and discuss before adopting a slate of candidates, casting ballots as necessary, and taking official action to extend a pastoral call.

All adult members are encouraged to attend and join in our discussions and decisions, as we continue with this important process.  Your input is valued to make this call representative of our congregation.

Again, please contact Jonathan or Mark directly if you have questions, and please plan to attend the meeting on Sunday, November 1.  (Note that Daylight Savings Time ends on November 1, so please remember to set your clocks back an hour before going to sleep on October 31.)

Thanks and God bless!
