A CALL IS ISSUED TO THE MEMBERS AND FRIENDS OF THE FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH OF NORTH COLLINS TO ATTEND OUR ANNUAL MEETING SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 2009 AT 10:00 AM. OFFICERS WILL BE ELECTED, ANNUAL REPORTS GIVEN, AND THE NEW BUDGET ADOPTED. ANY OTHER BUSINESS BY THE PEOPLE WILL ALSO BE TRANSACTED. THERE ARE NO TRUSTEE TERMS EXPIRING THIS YEAR, YET THERE ARE UP TO FOUR VACANCIES.

The Elders recommend that the statement presented to the Congregation on October 5th, 2008, for review and discussion (available on the back table) be adopted as an expression of this Church’s convictions and policies regarding the Lord’s Supper. Specifically, they recommend that the first four paragraphs (under the heading “V § 3 The Lord’s Supper”) replace Art. V §§ 3.1-2 of our current FCC Constitution & Bylaws. They further recommend that the final five paragraphs (under the heading “Appendix A: The Lord’s Supper”) appear as an appendix at the back of the Constitution.
