The previously scheduled Wed. July 20, 7pm Ad Board meeting has been moved back one week to July 27, at 7pm
     Reason: In making ready for the appointment of Rev Choi to Mt Bethel, there is a need for Charge Conference approval of compensation package AND form 8b prior to Rev Hannah Choi beginning her appointment Aug 1.   A Charge Conference (not all church meeting) needs at least a 15-day notice and two methods of announcement (this newsletter & Sunday worship) and appropriately authorized by the District Superintendent to take action on Rev Choi compensation package with a copy of the minutes being sent to the district office.  Since a charge conference meeting, not an all church meeting is needed, the Ad Board can take this action on the compensation package but Mt Bethel needs to be responsive to time & communication of the meeting.
