Policy

Adopted by the Board of Trustees, January 8, 2018.
(Replaces previous policy dated October 13, 2015.)

Email communications utilizing the congregation database may be used to announce major activities or news relevant to a majority of the congregation.

Congregation-wide emails are to be sent only by the Senior Minister or the Office Administrator.

Procedure

Adopted by the Coordinating Team January 16, 2018 and revised November 4, 2020.

Congregation-wide emails are ideally sent no more than three times a week, including the weekly e-nuus and the monthly newsletter. The scheduling of these emails is coordinated between the Congregational Administrator and the Minister. Pastoral or justice-centered messages from the Senior Minister are exceptions to the limit.

Congregants wishing to send a congregation-wide email may submit the necessary information using this online form.

Sending multiple emails on the same subject is discouraged. Repeated messaging on the same subject begins to be overlooked.
