Guest rusty Posted October 19, 2011 at 04:55 PM Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 at 04:55 PM A church wants to vote on whether or not to keep a certain type of assembly that is not included in the list services that will be held by the church in the by-laws. What do the members vote to do, make an amendment to the by-laws or just vote on keeping or omitting the service and record ti in the minutes; and does that make it permanent or just until someone introduces it for a vote again?
