AUGUST 10, 2010 – MEETING MINUTES

 

Attendance     Lois Cook, Florence Hamilton, David Klement, Marianne Maley, Wayne Maley, Jim Parks, Howard Smolleck, Rev. Norm Story, Marsha Topley, Paul Vaughan

 

Not Present     Sam Bartholomew, Melanie Grant, Joanne Kersting,

 

The meeting was opened at 7:00 PM by Marianne with prayer and a meditation from “ABCs for Living.” 

 

Minutes of the June 8, meeting were accepted as distributed. The budget report was quite understandable, a major improvement in format. There is still a question about how designated income is used for line item expenses    

 

Communion was served by intinction to 179 on Sunday, July 4, and to 199 on August 1.

 

Worship and Music Schedule for 2010 - 2011 was handed out.  Salt & Light special musicals, Youth Bell and Youth Choir dates, and Concert Series events are included along with Adult Bells schedule and Chancel Choir activities that start with a dinner and read through on September 1. The approximately 60 rehearsals, services and programs will be on the church calendar. This will be a great aid for coordinating all church activities, including youth events and Salt and Light musical specials.   It was moved and voted to thank David Klement for coordinating the many music groups and to accept and endorse the schedule.

 

Over the summer nine volunteers (mostly from the Choir alto section) have entered into a computer data base details about all the music in our library.  This now provides readily sortable information about our extensive collection.  Thanks to the volunteers for this useful service.

 

Adult Bell Choir will begin rehearsals August 23.  They are looking toward adding an additional octave of bells and are seeking out funding options for their purchase.

 

Major organ maintenance should be done along with fall tuning.   This is to be discussed along with other Ad Min priorities. 

 

At least two persons have indicated interest in a Sound System Operators workshop.  When they agree on a scheduled date, a general announcement will be made to invite others who may want to be a part of this ministry.  In addition there will be a need for helpers to operate the computer dedicated to CD reproduction of services and their distribution. .

 

Flowers from a recent funeral service and a wedding were given to the church.  Ideas for use of them were discussed.  Input from decorator Mariann Novak will be sought for further discussion at the next meeting. 

 

Upcoming team responsibilities:   Fellowship Hour on August 29.  A simple set up is planned.  Committee help will be needed at 8:30 AM, also to serve and clean up after the service.  Communion Sunday, September 5, help with set up at 8:30 AM and clean up after the service.

 

Next M&W Ministry Team meeting will be September 14.

 

The meeting was closed with prayer at 8:15  PM
