Bylaw Revision Vote Update
Originally, this Family Conference was also going to include a vote on updating our bylaws. However, after receiving thoughtful feedback from many of you, a few changes were made to the proposal. These updates were reviewed and approved by our deacons.
In accordance with our current bylaws, we are now providing a new 30-day window to make you aware of these revisions and to give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have. On Sunday, June 1 at 5:00p, we will gather, as a church family, in the Peace Haven worship center to vote on the revised bylaws. We will also have an update on the progress of our Impact Planning Team and the master plan process that evening.

Have a question? We’d love to hear from you! Just email us at deacons@calvarynow.com.
