NOTICE OF SPECIAL MEETING OF MEMBERS
FOR
FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, CALDWELL, TEXAS
The Board of Stewards has approved a Resolution to amend the Articles of Incorporation of the First United Methodist Church, Caldwell, Texas and directed that it be submitted to you, the members of the church, for approval. The Church Council’s Resolution reads as follows:
RESOLVED that the Articles of Incorporation of First United Methodist Church, Caldwell, Texas be amended and restated as shown on the Restated Certificate of Formation attached to the Resolution and such Resolution and its amendment and restatement be submitted to the church members for approval at a special meeting of the members.
Therefore, a Special Meeting of the Members of the First United Methodist Church, Caldwell, Texas has been called for Sunday, March 26th, 2023 at 9:30am.
All members of the church will be asked to vote on the member Resolution and associated Amendment to our Certificate of Formation necessitated by our recent disaffiliation from the United Methodist Church. As you probably know, the main thrust of the Amendment is to update our governing document to current standards and remove the words “First United” from the name of our church and from those governing documents currently on file with the Secretary of State of Texas as a result of our decision to disaffiliate from the United Methodist Church and affiliate with the Global Methodist Church. We will also be voting to ratify the new church name of Caldwell Methodist Church as previously approved by the Board of Stewards.
The Resolution and corresponding Amendment is set forth in a printed Notice of the Special Meeting, and if you wish to see a copy of the Resolution and Amendment, you may obtain a copy of the Notice at the table located in the foyers as you leave the worship service today or other location as appropriate.
The Amendment is also on the church website – https://caldwellmc.org.
