Some changes to the Constitution and Bylaws were approved by the
Church Council and at the Annual Congregational Meeting in
February 2009. The majority of the changes were needed for St.
John’s Constitution to be in line with the ELCA model
constitution. The rest were editing changes made to clarify the
meaning and intention of the articles.
In July 2009, the Church Council approved a new Child and Youth
Safety Policy. Our old policy had been on the books for 10 years
without revision, and the revision process was led by a dedicated
and hard-working group of parishioners (listed below).
