I have spent the last few days hearing from members who feel just as sidelined and confused as I do. We are currently organizing the formal delivery of these signatures to the board to ensure they cannot ignore our request for transparency.

The momentum behind this request proves that the congregation is finally ready to demand the transparency we deserve. Seeing so many of us come together around this goal confirms that the hurt caused by these recent events is felt across our entire community.

I'm signing for the reality that we can not be divided as a Church. We must all meet and be in agreement and on 1 accord.
