On Saturday, February 17, 2018 the Delegate body of Illinois Mennonite Conference (IMC) will meet at Metamora Mennonite Church, Metamora, IL for a newly formatted annual business meeting.

This is the primary business meeting of the conference for the year. This meeting replaces the business portion of the Annual Assembly (a second gathering will take place October 19 and 20, 2018  at Sonida de Alabanza for the purpose of worship and equipping).

At the IMC business meeting, our goals are to approve the 2018 – 2019 IMC budget, to consider a change to the work of the Financial Advisory Team, and to discern the strategic direction of IMC.  It is possible we will add additional agenda items, or refine goals stated above. A full agenda will be sent to all congregations, pastors, and registered delegates two weeks prior to the meeting.

To register, please email hmason@mennonite.net. Let her know how many delegates will be attending from the congregation. There is no registration fee for this event. It’s our desire to ensure that every congregation can participate fully, regardless of economic resources. Your RSVP is helpful in planning.

Each congregation is allowed to send 5 delegates to this meeting, in addition to any credentialed pastors in your congregation.

In order to make the best decisions possible for the future of IMC, it is important to have as many participants as possible.

Details:

• We will begin at 9 am and conclude no later than 4 pm.
• There will be snacks throughout the day, opportunities to get to know others at table groups, and lunch.
• There is no registration fee for this event.
• A love offering will be collected to help cover the expenses for lunch and snacks.
• Please RSVP to Holly Mason at hmason@mennonite.net
