Church Council has given the go ahead for fundraising. Static
fundraising is fine, but any fund raising events or manned solicitations
will need to be scheduled through the Church office.
Camp:
We have received brochures and posters for Camps MacGruder and Sawtooth.
Patti will get the materials to Sarah.
Easter:
Patti and Barb have been discussing an Easter celebration for the Sunday
School children but have not yet finalized plans.
Youth Mission Trip:
Seven youth attended the informational meeting for the mission trip, but
it's unclear how many will commit. $50 deposits will need to be
collected and submitted by the Church. Patti will forward information
to Cheryl to organize. Patti will also check with Brenda to see if camp
scholarship funds can also be used for mission trip scholarships.
Clara and Patti reported on attendance for children, youth, and adult
classes, and Gene reported that Family Fellowship potlucks were going
well. We are still seeking a Vacation Bible School leader, but we have
lots of volunteers.
Teri reported on recent Youth activities: hygiene kits assembled for
Haitians, a cake baked for Pastor Brenda, and soup made for Lenten Soup
and Bread suppers.
The committee then discussed the Church budget situation and to think
about possible ways to further cut expenses by 5%.
