It’s time for the big day! Here’s some final details as we head into our Vote Sunday weekend.
Rod Koski, Chair of the GTC Board, gave an update to the congregation on Sunday morning. The entire church family is invited to our upcoming Meet and Greet on Saturday from 3-5pm, to meet with our candidate and hear his heart for ministry and our church. Congregants were given a handout with all this information. Please note there will not be an open mic for questions at the meeting, but rather questions should be submitted in advance to Pastor Scott (scott [at] gtsudbury [dot] ca) by Wednesday of this week. On Sunday morning the candidate will be Preaching the Call, and voting membership will receive and cast their ballot in the gym. Please also note the preaching part of the service will not be broadcast online. Voting members and non-voting members can return to the main auditorium to hear the results of the ballot. To be a voting member, the individual would have attended a membership class, be affirmed by the deacon board and received a letter to confirm their status. We encourage everyone to pursue that avenue in the future! We currently have about 190 voting members on the roster. All voting members are asked to come and be here to exercise your right to vote. Please contact us to confirm your status if needed. Please be in prayer as we enter this new, exciting season ahead of us!
Key Takeaways:
- Our entire church family is invited to meet the candidate on Saturday, November 23 from 3-5pm in our gym.
- Only questions submitted in advance will have the opportunity to be answered. Please submit questions to Pastor Scott (scott [at] gtsudbury [dot] ca) by Wednesday, November 20.
- On Sunday, our candidate will preach the call during the morning service. There will not be children’s programming as many of our volunteers want to hear the service and are voting members. Children are invited to stay with their families throughout the service. We invite you to bring “busy bags” for smaller children and also please note the gym will be available with a livestream if you need another space to go. The preaching portion of the service will not be broadcast online.
- After the service, voting members will be directed to go to the gym to receive and cast their ballots.
- After the voting process is done, please gather in the main auditorium to hear the results of the ballots. Non-voting members are welcome to stay in the main auditorium after the service if they would like to hear the official results.
