Beau Brewer made motion, Lynn Carpenter seconded
Dewayne Stewart did not agree and said there was a need to address having two spouses on a committee.
We are going to lose all experienced people and feel we should wait until updated by-laws are approved.
Ginger Carpenter agreed with the change, she explained why it’s important and it’s only for one year. We
need our rules, we need to follow God’s rule.
Beau Brewer said that the bylaws and constitutions do matter, no one is expendable – committees are
advisory only – the church body makes decisions. We need to obey our bylaws and constitutions – couples
should not be on the same committee.
Passed – and Jason stated that the bylaws need to be adhered to
Beau Brewer made motion to adjourn meeting – Chris Turner seconded
Meeting adjourned: 12:50 PM
Respectfully submitted by: Brenda C. Blagg, Church Clerk
