If you were unable to attend Sunday's congregational meeting, here's what we discussed.
Moderator Ellen Beidler grounded us by reminding us of our freedom and responsibility to set the direction of CUCC (congregational polity) and of our connection to other congregations and settings of the United Church of Christ.
We affirmed the work of Do Justice on reforming the cash bail bond systems, and voted to support sending to the United Church of Christ a resolution to do this work more broadly.
Stewardship Ministry chair, Jason Myers, asked us to provide input on the proposed operating and reserve budgets for 2020 and to turn in our financial pledges soon. We will vote on a final budget at the January congregational meeting. If you would like a copy of the financial reports, contact the church office.
Nominating Committee chair, Sue Cottle, shared their work so far on a slate of officers and ministry members for 2020 (first draft) and asked us to volunteer if we haven't already and to review the list to ensure we are signed up for the work we want to do. We will approve a slate of officers and ministry chairs at the January congregational meeting.
We asked questions about the Great Room Exchange currently underway which is allowing us to better utilize the spaces we have in ministry together and sharing our space with community groups. We thanked those who have been providing the vision and labor to make the exchanges.
Our time together was bounded by readings of Nan C. Merrill's Psalm 68.
