Spring Congregational Meeting Notification and Agenda

May 7, 2023

Via Zoom - : https://zoom.us/j/2888468827 

All Souls is an independent congregation that is governed by its membership, and guided by the principles of inclusive participation and a respect for the democratic process. This assertion finds its fullest manifestation during our semi-annual congregational meetings. At the May 7 Spring congregational meeting, we will elect and commission our leadership to direct the undertakings of the congregation, and specifically to lead us towards the fulfillment of our shared vision and mission. We will also approve the budget for the 2023-24 fiscal year, vote on proposed bylaws revisions, and hear reports.

A congregation's decision by vote is the highest expression of its authority; therefore we thank you in advance for attending and voting on the items on our agenda. Though all are welcome to attend, voting is limited to the members of our congregation.
