Spring Business Meeting Summary

Several actions were taken at our business meeting held May 3rd.

The congregation voted on the following:

1) Membership for Dawn Carr, Joe & Terry Davis, Pastor Paul & Ruth Fink, Jillian Hancock, Molly Herring, Adam & Stefanie Hower, Jake & Tina Naylor, John & Rebecca VanKirk

2) To go forward with the Deacon and Trustee Board recommendation to enhance our wireless network system because we are frequently exceeding the capabilities of the current system. The upgrade will cost approximately $9,000. It will make our internet system more secure, provide for better internet access for individuals and SBS classes and enable us to simulcast our services via YouTube in the future.

3) To participate in the support of Tim and Amy (Morris) Fanus who are working with BCM International at Camp Sankanac

4) To reaffirm an action taken at a previous business  meeting allowing our Trustee Board to proceed with projects in excess of $5,000 which in their opinion are in the  best interest of the church, short of major renovations or building additions

 

Our next quarterly business meeting is scheduled for

Wednesday, July 26. Everyone is invited to attend. 

Don’t forget we will also serve ice cream!
