September 28: "How Then Shall We Forgive?" Everyone of us needs to be forgiven for something and there is much we need to forgive. Come and let us explore how and why this might happen in our lives, with our Consulting Minister, Lee Marie Sanchez. 

Our Fall Congregational meeting will take place on Sunday, Sept. 28, following the service. At this meeting we will vote on extending our Consulting Minister's contract into 2009, approve a budget for 2009, elect a Nominating Committee and vote on the following proposals:
             (Choose either 1 or 2 or 3. Item 4 deals with a separate issue.)
1.  A By-Law change to set the number of board members at nine, and to require the secretary and the treasurer to be elected members of the board.
2.  A By-Law change to set the number of board members at seven, and to require the secretary and the treasurer to be elected members of the board. 
3.  A Resolution to set the number of board members at seven, and to allow the board to appoint persons who are not elected board members as secretary or treasurer.

4.  A By-Law change to the quorum for congregational meetings from 20% to 1/3, in order to comply with the California Corporations Code.
By-Law changes require a 2/3 vote of those members present, so this is an important meeting.
