Local Church Conference | Nominations —
On Sunday, April 11, we plan to have our Local Church Conference and Elections after the close of the Morning Service. During the LCC, reports will be given and elections will be held for the Pastor, Local Board of Administration, Trustees, and District Conference Lay Delegates and Alternate Lay Delegates.
Following are two documents for your consideration (click to view):
As previously stated, according to The Discipline, church members must be present in person to vote — with the exception of the vote for the Pastor. Church members who cannot attend the pastoral vote at the LCC "because of confining illness, required employment, or necessary out-of-town travel or seasonal residency" (or due to the COVID Pandemic), may cast an absentee ballot.
To request an absentee ballot, please contact our LBA Secretary Debbie Dickerson (Call or Text: 270-646-0989 / E-mail: drd@glasgow-ky.com). She will gladly distribute an absentee ballot to any church member according to the guidelines of The Discipline. The completed absentee ballot must be placed in the provided envelope — which must then be sealed and returned to Debbie Dickerson before the LCC on April 11.
The sealed envelopes containing absentee ballots will not be opened until the LCC pastoral vote session. The sealed envelopes will be opened by the LBA Secretary in the presence of the LBA Vice-Chair (without viewing vote) prior to the tallying of the vote and combined with all other identical ballots for counting by the tellers.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or any LBA Member.
