    Update to Organizational Motion (page 7, #5) underlined:

    • The session shall be governed by the rules of the General Conference of The United Methodist Church from the postponed 2020 General Conference held in 2024 (not 2019).

    Update the Consent Calendar (page 16) by removing the following underlined:

    • Recommendation from Commission on Equitable Compensation (CEC)

    Update the Ministry Share Budget (proposed) 2025 (page 22, line 71) underlined:

    • Replace CFA with CVA

    Update about budget:

    • Due to General Conference actions around the quadrennium budget, GCFA had to send out updated apportionments to all Annual Conferences. As a result, the total apportionments currently listed in the 2025 budget will be $2,783 higher that what is posted. Due to this small increase CFA will not present a revised budget, but will account for this increase in our obligations to GCFA.
