The Newton Highlands Congregational Church Council authorized a small committee to begin a review of the church bylaws in October 2023.
Committee members are the Reverend Ken Baily, Sally Brickell (moderator), Rich Bryden (assistant moderator and assistant treasurer), Carol Jensen (former Worship & Spiritual Life Committee member and former moderator), Yumiko Matsuoko (Worship & Spiritual Life Committee member), Kitty Rieske (Mission Committee chair), and Yvette Ruffin (Christian Education Committee member).
The committee hopes to have a set of proposed changes ready for congregational review by April 2024, in preparation for the June annual meeting. The bylaws were last updated in 2011/12 and prior to that, in 2005.
