Items that may require council action: None

Items that may require budget/finance coordination: None

Important items of information:

  • Action items from last month: Plan a reception for Bob Whitton at the North Site. Mike to contact Jean about a cake, an announcement and a date.
  • Discussed survey results from this past Sunday.
    • Tabulation remains. We’ll discuss further as we pull together data.
    • Kathy recruited some others to join our task forces to develop protocols.
    • After pulling together protocols, we will report back to the Council and then to the congregation
    • Milly to pull together a ‘format’ or parameters within which to work for task forces.
    • Kathy to write a note of thanks for filling out surveys to be put in bulletin.
  • Continuing to plan Advent themes for two locations
    • Milly to follow up with Jenelle to find out where NS manger and stable are located. A member has agreed to build a manger for DT based on what’s at the NS already.
    • Separate groups (NS/DT) to discuss through discussion forum (NS) or have another meeting just for this (DT).
    • Target is to complete planning by end of October.
  • Goals for 2009/Vision 2012
    • Two areas to be considered:
      • Excellence in music, implement music in worship (more people involved in music)
      • Grow attendance by 30 percent
    • Reviewed 2008 goals written last year to see which we’d finished. Good progress has been made on many fronts.
