There will be an in person congregational meeting on Sunday Oct. 22, 2023 following worship to take action on proposed revisions to the church Constitution and By Laws. The changes being proposed reflect the way the congregation is actually functioning and bring consistency to what is in the official documents and what is being done in actual practice. The changes have been carefully reviewed by the Advisors as well as other church members who have assisted with the process including Sally Purvis, Patti Cooksey, Mark Gibson, and Bill Parsons.
At the meeting, all members of Lakewood United Church of Christ are entitled to vote. Friends of the church and the congregation of Trinity United Church of Christ are welcome to attend and to make comments on the proposed documents but will not be eligible to officially vote.
All are welcome! The proposed Constitution and By Laws are available here: https://lakewooducc.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/10/2023constitutionversion2pdf.pdf
