Feedback Encouraged
As we slowly turn the page from summer to fall, we welcome your feedback in two (2) important areas of the church’s ministry. The first regards the 2019-2022 capital campaign that we just concluded at the end of June. As part of our ongoing 3-year capital campaigns, we dedicate 10% of all funds received to help community organizations. From our 2019-2022 capital campaign, we currently have the 10% ready to give to the Decatur and/or central Illinois community.
A group is being established for the purpose of making decisions about the disbursement of these funds – has already collected some ideas about where these funds could go, but it does not want to exclude your own. Traditionally, these funds have been distributed among local (Decatur-area) and/or regional (Central Illinois) entities, not necessarily affiliated with the Disciples of Christ, though a Disciples connection is always welcome. If you have an agency in mind you would like to see some of our finances support, please let us know. We cannot promise all suggestions will be supported. But rest assured the task force will honor and consider all suggestions. We would like your suggestions by: Sunday, August 28. Feel free to send them to .
The second regards the Nominating Committee’s work as it prepares to present a new slate of officers and church leaders for 2023. This year, the committee will be presenting the following positions:
- President
- Vice-President (up to 3 total)
- Secretary
- Treasurer
- Trustees (2 total)
- Elders (up to 10 total)
- Deacons (up to 36 total)
- Elder and/or Deacon Emeritus
If you have suggestions of people you would like the Nominating Committee to consider for any of these positions, feel free to send them to . Beginning this coming Sunday (August 21), there will be sheets of paper where you can submit your suggestions in writing as well. The Nominating Committee will begin meeting the first full week of September, so submitting your suggestions by Sunday, September 4 will be most helpful.
