Special Meeting to Call Our Next Minister

From the Prudential Committee (Seth Popinchalk, Moderator)

Special Meeting to Call Our Next Minister

Our Ministerial Search Committee has met with all three pre-candidates and will be selecting one as our Candidate.  After the service on May 4, congregation members in good standing will vote on whether to call the Candidate as our next settled minister.

May 4, 2014 - Save the date!  This will be the day of the special meeting to call our next minister.  When it comes to choosing a minister, we all want everyone's input, and that means we all want everyone's vote.  In order to vote for the new settled minister, everyone must be a member (not a friend but a member) in good standing.

To be a member in good standing, one needs to have a signed pledge card on file. Rest assured this is not about money!  You need not enter any number in the pledge. All we need is a signed pledge card with your current contact information. Under the bylaws, a signed card is how we keep track of who is a member.

If you think now is the right time to become a member of the church, please visit the Welcome Table in the Bancroft room on Sunday after service, or contact our minister Tracey (minister@firstunitarian.com).

If you are the least bit unsure whether your membership is in order, please call (508.757.2708) or email (office@firstunitarian.com) the church to confirm your status.  As we get closer to the special meeting we will provide more details about Candidating Week (April 25 - May 4) and the the voting process.
