Dear Friends in Christ,
Happy Thanksgiving! I pray you have a blessed and safe holiday! I hope you get a chance to watch the COTC “A Celebration of Thanksgiving” video on Facebook. It premieres on Thanksgiving Day at 10 am and will continue to be available for you to watch as you choose.
Per the announcement on Sunday (also on the website, in the bulletin, and the COTC e-news) there is a Special Congregational Meeting at 11 am on December 6th virtually on Zoom. The only order of business will be to vote on these new officer nominees. Many of you are familiar with Zoom, so this will be a breeze. However, if you are new to Zoom and would like to practice how to access Zoom and learn it works, I invite you to let me know and I’ll forward the Zoom information for one of the weekly gatherings for you to join us. We will be glad to help you!
This Zoom information will NOT be posted on the website as the meeting is only for COTC members. If you should misplace the email with instructions—no worries! I will re-send this information on December 5th.
I look forward to sharing with you this important work in the life of our congregation. See you on December 6th.
Yours in Christ,
Pastor Julie
