Congregational Meeting
The Congregational Meeting will be held on Sunday, January 24th. We will have one service that day at 9:30 am, with the meeting immediately following. Please plan on attending, as we will be voting on the 2010 budget. In preparation for this meeting, a meeting to discuss the budget and answer any questions in advance of the Congregational Meeting will be held between services on Sunday, January 17th. The budget will be available for review by January 10th. Sunday School will be held usual time.

Progressive Dinner
The Progressive Dinner will be on Saturday evening, January 16th beginning at 6:30. At a Progressive Diner, people enjoy the first course of dinner (normally appetizers or soup) at one member’s home, then move to a second home for the next course and continue to progress to other homes for the remaining courses. This is a great way to fellowship with other people in the church, and in this case, we are hoping that we can raise a few dollars for Feast of Justice. The suggested donation is $10 per person or #20 per family. Please sign up in advance so we can organize the houses to be visited. Questions? Contact Dorothy Wilson or Carolyn Edwards.

Council Highlights from the December Meeting
- Rodd Lynch is willing to serve on council. Carolyn will speak with Linda Bell to see if she would also be willing to serve.
- The first cottage meeting was held on Nov. 30th and went well. Carolyn distributed the feedback which was received. The remaining 2 meetings will be held this week, and Carolyn will compile all of the feedback from the meetings.
- Discussion concerning the budget and and possible ways to reduce costs. It was decided to reduce Linda’s hours to 12 hours/week. Carolyn Dorothy and Wayne will look at Linda’s responsibilities to see what should be shifted to someone else to accommodate the reduced hours. Carolyn will speak with Linda about the change in hours.
- Carolyn will contact the copier lease company to see how much longer we are under contact with them.
- Wayne suggested we combine the January meeting with a pot luck dinner. Carolyn will organize who is bringing what food/beverage items. Thanks Wayne! It’s always good to combine fellowship with business.
