October 29 - November 4, 2017 VOTERS’ ASSEMBLY - October 29 at 11:30 am The final 2017 Senior Pastor Candidates are Pastor Kristopher Morris and Pastor Adam Hengst. The Divine Call Voters' Assembly will convene this Sunday at 11:30 am. Our agenda for the Voters’ Assembly will emphasize our humility toward God, remembering His past providence, and focusing on prayerfully asking Him to lead us to who He is calling as our next Pastor, rather than a detailed evaluation of the candidates. To aid your understanding of this very special Voters’ Assembly, here is the basic agenda we will follow: • • • • • • • •

Call to Order, Opening Remarks (Bill Schulze, President) Prayers for Family of Christ (Prayer Team) LCMS District Remarks (Pastor Doug Brauner, Circuit Visitor) Brief Review of the Call Process (Sarah Dahl, Call Committee Chair) Clarifications, Questions on the Call and Voting Processes (Voters) Prayer (Jeremy Hetzel) Vote (held by paper ballot) and count (Voters) Announcement of Result, request to make vote unanimous, and Closing Remarks (Bill Schulze, President) • Adjourn
