Brothers J. Anderson, Budge, Brandt, Dobson and D. Brown…
(with a copy to members of the Stake Council plus the bishops and branch presidents in our stake)
We missed you in Stake PEC meeting yesterday. We hope you are feeling better and/or home safe from your travels.
During our meeting yesterday we introduced a plan to empower High Councilors and hopefully make our Stake PEC meetings more effective.
Following are some of the changes that were announced (as you can also see in the attached “Empowering HC Overview” document):
1. Our meetings have been moved to 6:55 am on the 1st and 3rd Sundays;
2. Quarterly Stake Council meetings will begin at 7:30 am;
3. Both the PEC and Stake Council meetings are to last only an hour, if possible;
4. The PEC meetings will be followed by monthly stewardship interviews with your assigned member of the stake presidency;
5. Melchizedek and Aaronic Priesthood committees have been eliminated and your assignments may include both Melchizedek Priesthood and stake auxiliary responsibilities.
The attached documents hopefully will help explain the changes announced yesterday. We hope you will find the Description of Assignments especially helpful. You will receive an invitation soon to access the Google Docs with detailed descriptions of your assignments. We hope all High Councilors will help us keep these documents updated and complete to serve as a resource in your monthly stewardship interviews and a blessing to those who will some day succeed us in the Stake PEC.
It is an honor to serve with you in this wonderful work of the Lord. We appreciate very much you studying the attached documents as we seek to raise the stature of High Councilor in our stake and follow the Brethren’s counsel to reduce and simplify.
Gratefully,
The Stake Presidency
