Officer Nominations for Jan-Sept 2009 term

Hello Gang -

It's that time of the year once again to nominate our Sunday School officers for the upcoming Jan-Sept 2009 term. First and foremost I want to personally thank all of our officers as well as those who helped fill in our officer vacancies during the year for their time, effort, and hard work. Please join me in thanking these individuals for their dedication and commitment to making TwoBecomeOne a great place for our TwoBecomeOne family to share in worship and fellowship.

Second, as noted above we will be nominating upcoming officers to serve a 9 month term, from January - September 2009. This short term is necessary because starting in January 2009 CRUMC is transitioning the Sunday School year to parallel that of the academic school year. Therefore, officers will enter leadership in September of each year instead of January. To enable this transition, we will nominate new officers to serve a 9 month term, from January - September 2009, then in Summer 2009 we will hold another round of nominations for officers who would then enter leadership and serve from September 2009 - August 2010.

Third, I will keep nominations open through end of day next Monday, November 10th and plan to have members vote the following week with new officers to be announced after our Thanksgiving break.

Lastly, for those individuals elected to serve the upcoming term please make a future note that the Jan-Sept 2009 Sunday School Leader's Training is scheduled for the morning of January 10th, 2009.
