Joe Cain was approved as the next Congregation Treasurer. He will replace Allen Jensen who will retire from this position after serving us faithfully the last several years. The council expressed its sincere gratitude for his service.
Many of the planned renovations have been completed in the Pastor’s office, the Church office and the Vicar’s office (currently used by the Child Development Center’s Director since she vacated her own office to allow space for more infants)! New paint has been applied in one office, new windows and HVAC units have been installed in two of the offices, and new flooring has been installed in all three. All are welcome to make time to stop by and admire the improvements.
The council voted to approve Olivia Herron and Colleen Adkins to the Child Development Center Board. Both are parents of enrolled children. Two positions remain open for congregation members. Recent improvements to the playground include a customized play area for infants.
The Council heard an update on efforts to upgrade our technology. Charlie Boas reported on two meetings with an outside consultant, who will soon come to do a diagnostic of systems currently in place. Recommendations for specific improvements are expected to follow.
Pastor Katie asked Council to welcome Michael and Paige Marty into membership. Council approved unanimously.
Members of the Racial Justice Task Force will be participating in a course in the fall.
An invitation to the whole congregation will be extended with details about the course. Council approved funds for the course with the hope that participants reimburse the church as they are able.
Respectfully submitted, Nancy Baden, Congregation Council Secretary
