My name is Bill Koehler. I've been a member of the CRC since 1985, two weeks before my wife and I married. We have been members of Covenant CRC in Woodstock since the early 90's. I currently serve as chair of our council, and my wife, Wanda, has been a GEMS counselor for the last few years. I work "part-time" for Canada Post, and also part time in a grocery store. We have two daughters: Sarah, 24, lives in London, Ont. and is a waitress/bartender. Caitlin, 21, works at the local Blockbuster video store, and is planning to marry next September.
Our council recently received a baptism request from a "long distance" member that attends a church in a nearby town (that believes in infant dedications instead of baptisms). Any advice?
Wondering if a church "opts out" of the Minister's Pension Plan, even temporarily, if it's possible to pick it up again in the future? Or is it a case of once you're out, you're out??
Hi Kathy,
Thanks for your response to my post. Yes, if you could send along those pages from the Church Order commentary, that would be very helpful.
Bill
