Annual Meeting, Sunday, June 7th, 12:15 PM, Sanctuary – Your Participation Matters

Date: 06/07/2026 Time: 12:15 pm – 1:15 pm

Dear Members and Friends,

You are warmly invited to attend our upcoming Annual Meeting—an important gathering in the life of our congregation.

All are welcome to attend and be part of this shared time together. However, please note that only members are eligible to vote on official business, including the election of leaders and approval of the budget.

There will also be an end of the year party for CYRE on this date, with plenty of adult supervision for caregivers to attend the meeting while youth attend their celebration, which features a water slide.

Your presence is especially important this year. A quorum of members is required in order to conduct the meeting. Without sufficient member attendance, the meeting cannot proceed and will need to be rescheduled.

The Annual Meeting is where we come together to shape our future, affirm our direction, and ensure that our congregation’s decisions reflect the voice of the community. Your participation helps make that possible.

We strongly encourage all members to attend and participate in this important process.
