           2                        Church of the Brethren Annual Conference
           3                 To the 2020 Southern Pennsylvania District Conference

           6           Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, your Standing Committee’s work has been greatly
           7   affected this year.  However, there are a few items that you should be aware of.

           9           I want to first thank you for allowing me to serve you in this position.  I am the only
          10   representative from our district on the Standing Committee at this time.  We have lost one
          11   position due to a reduction in our District’s membership numbers.

          13           The Standing Committee did meet virtually by Zoom on May 7, 2020 and decided that
          14   due to the dangers posed by the virus, Annual Conference would be canceled this year.
          15
          16           Since there was no conference for 2020, there obviously would be no election of new
          17   officers.  Therefore, it was also decided that officers whose terms of office would have ended
          18   during the 2020 conference, would be asked to serve an additional year.  Also, the terms of office
          19   on the 2021 ballot would be reduced accordingly.
