The Voting Process
Voting will be by paper ballot.
Regular voting will take place at the business meeting announced for January 13.
Absentee ballots will be sent out from the church office on Wednesday, January 9 to any member who has requested one by telephone (651-646-2751) or email (ssolson@centralbaptistchurch.com). Absentee ballots may be requested by any member who cannot be present on January 13, or who feels that he or she will not be ready to vote on January 13. Absentee ballots must be mailed so as to arrive on or before Friday, January 18.
Votes cast at the business meeting, together with absentee ballots will be counted on Saturday, January 19 so that results can be announced on Sunday morning, January 20.
We must have at least 75 votes to be official. The motion to call Dr. Lawrence as the next senior pastor must be approved by 75% of those voting in order to pass.
For Informational Purposes Only
Though the votes of non-members will not count in the official tally to approve the next pastor, we are interested in the opinions of non-members who are regular participants in church activities and encourage their vote; there will be an opportunity for non-members to register their opinion.
Sermons Online
Opportunities to hear Joel Lawrence speak are available on the internet. Recommended are the video sermon from August 19, 2012 and the audio sermon from March 25, 2012. Check them out here.
