the United Church is holding a kind of referendum in our pastoral charges over
the next year? We will be voting on
remits about the structure and function of the United Church in the coming
year. These are somewhat technical and might
be challenging to understand, so copies of the questions will be placed in our
churches so we have a chance to read them, to ask some questions, and to be
ready to vote, probably in the new year.
