III. Pastor’s report: Pastor Story reported that Rev. Cho will conduct the Korean service at 10:30 in the Cinema room and will join us for fellowship following our services. Faith and Fellowship will begin their Sunday service at 8:45 – 9:30 am Sept. 13. Rev. Orozco will conduct the Iglesia del Pueblo services at 12:30pm this Sunday and then services will change to 10:30 am so their members can also fellowship with us. Pat Felhauer asked if this new information would be placed in the newspaper and bulletin. Pastor Story asked that she follow up with Greg Temple and Congregational Life.

On World Wide Communion Sunday Oct. 4^th, all services will combine at 10:30 am. Pastor Story advised that all the communion trays be completely filled for this service.

IV. Moderator’s Comments:  Brad stated that Ryan will be directing the choir for the first time Sept. 13. Rebecca West will be the temporary hand bell director through Dec.31^st Brad handed out a request by Janet Loman for use of the church on Dec. 5^th and 12^th by Operation Spread the Music. This was approved by the M&W committee and Brad will take to Session Sept. 15^th. .

V. Decorating Committee: Gracia Class indicated that in order to receive quality flowers we need to order Christmas flowers by Oct. 1^st. She will meet with the decorating committee and work with Linda Ramirez on getting the flyers and notices in the bulletin that would be both in English and Spanish, as well as determine the number of flowers that need to be ordered and price. They would like to have the Christmas flowers in the sanctuary two Sundays instead of one, and will determine how best to care for them. It will be helpful if Linda can prepare a list for the deacons of who paid for the flowers, who want to take them home, and who wants to donate, similar to the Easter flower list. Rev. Yu and Rev. Orozco need to be aware of our process for the flowers.

VI. Budget: received and reviewed.

VII. New Business:

Bill Kuyper discussed the amplification of singers during the summer. He will follow up with Rusty Smith regarding the microphones.

Jamie asked if Faith and Fellowship could contribute a song during World Wide Communion Sunday. She will follow up with the choir director, Ryan.

Music and Worship will be responsible for the fellowship hour after the service on Sept. 20th. We will start the setup at 9:30 am.

Brad will be out of town for the next meeting Oct. 13th^th.   Bill Kuyper will moderate.
