The Council wants to get input from congregation members as they work to balance the 2019 budget.
Please plan to attend an Open Council Meeting on Tuesday, March 26 at 7:00 p.m.
to suggest potential budget adjustments.
The Council elected the following officers: Judith Meyer, President; Greg Poppitz, Vice President, and Carla Hagan, Secretary. Marjorie Schmeerbauch will continue to serve as treasurer until April 1. We are still seeking two members to serve as Treasurer and Financial Secretary.
Greg Poppitz shared a report from the Commercial Property Task Force. They concluded that, given the good condition of the buildings, and the long term leases that are in place, it is wisest for the congregation to continue holding the property. The potential for using the building for ministry purposes increases each year as more of the mortgage is paid off.
The Council established a Task Force to explore how we should implement our mission goal of Unified Diversity. The Task Force will report to the Council in May, and may be contacting you for information.
