Below are the new terms of membership as outlined in the By-Laws: Prior to each annual meeting of the congregation, the Congregational Council shall review the membership roster to ensure that:
1. changes have been recorded;
2. voting members who have not, for a period of one (1) year, partaken of the Sacrament of Holy Communion, supported and participated in the life and worship of the congregation are placed on the responsibility list; and
3. those members on the responsibility list who have not, for a further period of one (1) year, returned to active participation shall be removed from the membership roster. Anyone so removed shall be given written notice of the council’s action.
In special circumstances, the Congregational Council may, in its sole discretion, leave a member on the membership roster.
Discussing membership can be difficult and requires your understanding. If you require any further explanation or have questions, please contact Pastor Bruce Thompson at
