Your comment is invited.) == Very Important Notice == === Meeting of the Congregation === A Special Meeting of the Congregation will be held in the Worship Centre at 8pm on Monday 8 November 2010 to receive and resolve upon a recommendation from the Joint Nominating Committee to issue a call to a Minister to fill the vacant placement at Glen Waverley. The meeting is in response to the decision made by the Congregation on 12 April 2010 to appoint a Joint Nominating Committee to seek initially one full time Minister of the Word, and is the final stage of the process described by Rev Greg Crowe, Chairman of the Joint Nominating Committee, at the meeting of the Congregation on 5 July 2010. The recommendation of the JNC is the only matter to be considered at this meeting. Graeme Frecker<<BR>> Chairman of the Congregation |
