RESPONSIBILITY

3/31/2021

0 Comments

 
As members of our congregation, we have a shared responsibility.  Everyone is entitled to voice their opinions and to be heard.  Obviously, where opinions differ, common ground needs to be found.  Our Council members have volunteered to work on behalf of their fellow congregants, but they need to know that the congregation wants.  Obviously, we would all want to stay in our church building and carry on; however, financially, we cannot afford to do so as things stand while at the same time doing the work of the church - mission, outreach, and so much more.

A few weeks ago, I raised some questions - and they are included here again as only 11 answers were received.  In answering them, please consider that we are facing a deficit this year and do not have the fundraising ability to maintain the church or to hire a minister.
 
1. Do you want our congregation to continue?  
2. If yes, shall we sell the building and rent elsewhere?   The option if the majority say No to question one or are silent is to hand our buildings and properties to the United Church of Canada.
3. If you answer "yes" to Question 1, then will you commit to sitting on a committee or on Council, or to organizing an ongoing event such as Bible study, i.e., to further the work of the church? 
4. If you answer "no" to Question 2,  then how do you propose we pay for the new furnace, boiler, water heater, and replacing drafty windows and doors?
Looking forward to your answers.  Send them to my email or call me at 819-685-0656 to discuss them.

God bless,

Ellen
