To the Congregation of Caledonia United Methodist Church:

There will be a Special Charge Conference for the Caledonia United Methodist Church on October 15, 2024, at 11 am at the church. The purpose of this Special Charge Conference is to vote as to whether this congregation wishes to pursue a Covenantal Closure pursuant to the Book of Discipline, paragraph 2549-3 (a). This type of closure has just recently become available to congregations in Michigan, and will not be available after October 31, 2024. This is the final opportunity that a congregation will have to leave the denomination, if that is the desire of the vote of two-thirds or more of the congregation  members present and voting on October 15, 2024. If the vote is favorable, there is paperwork that is put together, and all of the assets are temporarily transferred to the Michigan Conference Board of Trustees. The assets are then given back to the Caledonia congregation after the process is completed.

If people wish to vote, there are things to which we will adhere:

       (1) You must be a full member currently listed on the roles. We will verify. We are not receiving new members before the meeting.

       (2) You must be in physical attendance in order to vote. There will be no proxy voting; no exceptions.

If there are questions or concerns, please contact Pastor Chris by phone or text at (734)776-7525, or email at cmbeau81@aol.com, or US Mail at 260 Vine St. SE, Caledonia, MI 49316. Thank you.

       In Christ’s Service,

           Pastor Chris
