Many of us remember how we began our lay or ordained leadership in the church. It all started with an invitation – an invitation to join in, to share our gifts, and to offer ourselves up in service. The Nominating Committee would like you to extend this invitation to those in your church who may benefit from this call and who may be a blessing to others. Please prayerfully consider yourself, as well as those among you, for nomination this year. Nominees must be sixteen years or older at the time of diocesan Council and communicants within the convocation from which they are being nominated.
All submitted names will be considered, but due to the changing needs of the diocese, not every name submitted will necessarily appear on the ballot. Candidates may be nominated from the floor of Council.
The Committee is grateful for your consideration and for your invitation to others to share their gifts. Your active participation in this process is vital to our efforts to engage leadership throughout our Diocese. May we all walk together in love as Christ loved us.
