ANNUAL MEETING
|
Due to the health concerns created by the pandemic, the congregation will hold this year’s Annual Meeting virtually, using Zoom. We have consulted our governing documents, the laws of the State of Iowa, and the Synod to come up with a plan that conforms to legal and constitutional requirements. The information you’ll need to access the Zoom meeting is below.

When you join the meeting, we ask that you make sure your sound is muted. When time for discussion comes, we will call on people to “raise hands” in the Zoom app and the president will call on them. You will be in the virtual “waiting room” until we note your attendance. That is how we determine a quorum and who gets a ballot.
Instructions for Voting:
Voting will take place after the meeting has concluded using online or paper ballot.
A link to the ballot form will be sent to all meeting participants. If you’d like to request a paper ballot, please call Lisa in the Church Office before the meeting happens, no later than June 1, to have one sent to you. Her number is 515-964-4348, ext. 201.
The online ballot form must be completed and submitted no later than 12:00 noon, June 9.
If you are voting using a paper ballot you can mail it via USPS. Make sure it is post-marked by June 9. You can drop it off in the mailbox outside the North Entrance of the church. In either case, ballots not received by Noon on June 13, 2021 cannot be counted.
Results of the vote will be announced by June 14, 2021.
