Our pastor Beryl commented that the vote taken last Sunday was "disappointing". I am not sure which disappointment she was referring to. I found it disappointing that we only received 28 ballots, two by email, one by Canada Post and the balance of 25 in person.
The totals for the 4 options were: no votes for closing down the ministry, 10 votes to rent space anywhere, 14 votes to rent space in a church and 17 votes to merge with another church. People had the option of making more than one selection.
So, we have two strong options to manage. We, the members of the church council will do our best in the coming weeks to secure an arrangement that respects the wishes expressed by these ballots.
In January we will be worshiping God together. At what time and where is still up in the air,
but we will be together. Thanks be to God.
