Circuit Realignment Information:

March 31, 2008

 

Dear Fellow Co-workers of the Missouri District,

Greetings to all of you in the name of our risen Savior!  By now, most of you should have received copies of the Missouri District’s Realignment Committee proposals.  Two working documents have been produced – one for East Missouri and one for West Missouri.  The committee wishes to thank everyone who has responded to date.

At this time, the committee is in hiatus until summer to allow everyone to respond, so do not be concerned if you have received no response to your previous suggestions. The committee asks that, if you have additional ideas or suggestions, to please forward those to the committee chairman, Rev. Terry Weinhold, by May 15.  Terry may be emailed at pastorw@splcc.org or written correspondence may be sent to 4715 Frederick, St. Joseph, MO  64506.

One major flaw has been discovered in the committee’s work to date.  The committee used some erroneous statistical data which unfortunately caused the committee to design a “Farmington Circuit” with a communicant membership that is too small, as you will note with the enclosed updated information.  That will need to be corrected and a supplementary proposal developed.  If you know of other factual data that might skew the proposals, please bring that information to the committee’s attention.

The committee has set a goal of having each circuit have a minimum of 8 congregations and 1600 communicant members.  That will provide some cushion so that our circuits remain above the synodical bylaw mandating 7 congregations & 1500 communicants. 

Again, remember that this is a working document that will eventually be brought to the Missouri District Convention in June of 2009.  Please bring all proposals to the committee at this time so that sound ideas may be incorporated and the best document brought to the convention.

Continued blessings upon everyone as you labor in the Kingdom.  He is Risen indeed!

Missouri District Realignment Committee
