To:
April 2017 General Conference of the Church Assembled
From:
Carl D. Cederstrom, Bishop
I present to you, myself, as a Bishop of the Lord Jesus Christ.
This past year has been one of change as my one-time friend and counselor has passed. Brother Bob
Giertz had been a faithful and stalwart counselor in the Bishopric. We will miss his dedicated service.
We also commend to you the dedicated staff working behind the scenes in support of the growing
missionary work, our Sisters Marilyn James, Janice Jordison, and Barbara Giertz.
We appreciate the financial and prayerful support and encouragement we have received from dedicated
Saints. We look forward to continued cooperation as the conference moves out in new fields.
May God pour out His blessings on our continued service to Him.
I remain,
Your Servant in Christ,
Carl D. Cederstrom, Bishop
To the General Conference Secretary:
Please read this letter to the Conference Assembled and request a vote to sustain my service to the
Conference.
Thank you.
