Timing of Congregational Meetings

At its meeting on 17 Mar 2010 (CouncilMinutes20100317), Council agreed to the following:

(This followed some recorded discussion regarding the proposal, see the CongregationalMeetingsDiscussion page.)

For the next five years, these are the nominated dates:

It should be noted that these are nominated dates, subject to modification by the Chair and secretary of the Congregation, who have the Constitutional responsibility to call meetings. In particular, the timing of meetings has been the subject of subsequent discussions.

Timing of Congregational Meetings (Update July 2014)

A proposal was raised at the November 2013 meeting to move the meeting time to one that is more accessible to more members of the congregation. This was determined to be following a 10:00am combined worship service. In 2014, these service dates have become more flexible and so the dates shown above may not be achieved.

It is intended to continue with the Sunday meetings unless the majority of the congregation wish to change.

Broadly the dates will remain the same (March/July/November) in that there will be 3 meetings per year (unless an additional meeting is required) and the focus of these meetings will be as shown above, however they will be coordinated with the ministry team and preaching plan.
