February Board Highlights

At our most recent Board meeting, February 26, 2026 we covered a wide range of governance, financial, and operational items as we continue strengthening the structure and sustainability of our congregation. The Board reviewed and approved revisions to the bylaws that clarify the distinction between contract and called ministers and define the Board’s authority in ministerial hiring in alignment with UUA guidance. Because these changes involve the bylaws, they will require a congregational vote. A Town Hall is scheduled for May 17, followed by a formal Congregational Meeting on May 31. We also discussed endowment governance and agreed that these conversations are best held in a dedicated setting. A separate Fund Managers meeting has been scheduled for next Thursday, March 5 at 6:00 PM, with an agenda to be distributed in advance. The Board reviewed and approved an aspirational budget that reflects both our current realities and future hopes.  The Board approved the purchase of 30 new folding chairs with blue cushions to improve comfort and seating consistency in the sanctuary. These will be treated with a non-toxic stain-resistant finish before use. Thank you to everyone who continues to serve in leadership, volunteer roles, and ministry support. As always, we welcome your questions and engagement as we move forward together.
