Lots of news to share from your Board!

The Board met in late August to make sure to get things going in this new season of services.

Highlights

    1. Signage and Lighting   The board is busy researching options to improve our outdoor signage and lighting. We will be asking for suggestions from the congregation on wording for the sign on September 8.
    2. Strategies for Building Congregations   The board is looking to implement strategies to retain visitors to our church which may include the following: connecting people on the first visit, following up with new visitors, tours of the church before the service and perhaps updating/renewing the name of the Chalice Circles.
    3. Building Inspection Report  Members of the Board will be discussing/deciding on priorities in future meetings.
    4. Workshops on Ageing  Dates have been selected.
    5. Leaders’ Get Together Leaders of the various groups will share information about their groups and groups will support each other.  A brunch will provide the venue for the discussions on October 19 – stay tuned for more information.
