2018 Charge Conference Notes_UPDATED
Please note the following:
The Good Shepherd Church Leadership Teams for 2018 – 2019 require the input of the entire active congregation. The teams are now divided in ways that reflect our new leadership structure, approved at our 2017 Charge Conference. If you are interested in serving in these ministry areas, or think someone else would be a good fit and you would like to offer their names for consideration, please do so. Everyone is invited to pray and discern whether or not to accept the opportunity to serve and either confirm or decline their acceptance byDecember 7, 2018, so the Nominations Committee can meet and prepare for the vote and approval of the Ad Council on December 20, 2018 for terms to being January 1, 2018. The Administrative Council Team is made up of those people who are the chair people of each team. The Administrative Council also includes our Lay Leader, Lay Member to Annual Conference, and members at large (if applicable). The Administrative Teams are required by The Book of Discipline of the United Methodist Church.
As you look over these names, if your name is missing or a mistake has been made, please offer the correction. If you are interested in joining a team, please lift your name during Charge Conference, or talk to Pastor Megan. God bless you and thank you for your service.
