Passed: Constitution and Bylaws

Update: The Constitution and Bylaws that are many months hard work by the congregation and elected committee were passed in a majority vote during the worship service on May 19, 2013. You may read the new Constitution in its entirety by clicking on the link on the right hand side of this page labeled “Constitution and Bylaws.”

After the fellowship meal and discussion on Sunday, the Constitution and Bylaws Committee went back into session in order to rework some of the areas about which you expressed a concern or a need for change.

The current working copy of the Constitution and Bylaws that the Committee is presenting to the church is on the page called “Proposed Constitution and Bylaws” on the right side of this website.

The official vote on the Constitution will be on May 19, 2013 during the worship service.  Please join us as we celebrate our new members, our lifelong members, and vote on this Constitution and Bylaws.

Wednesday Evenings at Pleasant Grove

The  past few Wednesday evenings have been a time of hard work, love, and fellowship as our Constitution and Bylaws Committee has been meeting with the congregation to seek input on the work they are doing on the organizing documents.

Afterwards, it has been our joy to meeting with some of the teachers as we are about to begin our new children’s Sunday school lessons about Daniel.  We have also been blessed with music!  We have been listening to the great harmonies of Kim and Melia as they practice for Sunday worship service.  We are looking forward to hearing their new drummer (yay J!) as they offer God this beautiful praise music Kim has written during our worship service this Sunday.

We welcome everyone to come and be a part of the fellowship and love at Pleasant Grove Union Church as we are working through Lent and preparing for Easter and the joy of experiencing our living Lord.
