A hot lunch will be provided before the meeting. The meeting will start between 12:15 and 12:30 PM depending on on how long lunch takes and will last no more than two hours.

The printed annual report will be available starting February 2 for those attending Sunday service in person and also found on our website here. The agenda is also posted on the website on the same page as the report, and printed agendas will be available at the meeting.
