Special General Church Meeting 2022
Dear friends,
At the Methodist Conference last June, the motion was passed to permit Methodist Churches to hold same-sex weddings. Each church has been asked to hold a meeting to prayerfully and lovingly discuss whether we are ready, at this time, to register our building for same-sex marriages.
This is a decision which has to be made by the Trustees of each church, i.e. Church Council, but here at Sandhurst & Yateley it was felt that it would be helpful to have a Special General Church Meeting to ascertain how the wider church membership feel.
All members and adherents are welcome to attend and join in the discussions but only members will be entitled to give an indicative vote (which will be confidential) and the final decision can only be made by Church Council.
To that end we are going to hold such a meeting on Saturday 26th February at 2.30pm at the church. Please note that it is not possible to vote by proxy as engaging in the prayer and discussion element of the meeting is a vital part of the process.
God bless,
Sharon
