Counting: We talked through the three teams and have chosen people to contact those who
are not currently serving about the changes to come and confirm their interest. We also talked
about a mass email to all who count to let them know of the changes we have made to the
counting teams. This is set to start in July with Team 3 and if Marieta feels it too much to do 2
months in a row we will work to help ease into the process.
The changes are as follows:
Team 1: Derek Work, Beth Work, Rick Work, Tim Patterson
Team 2: Diane Ward, Cathy Fratilla, Cathy Szabo, Gretchen Andolina

Pastor Update:
Task Force:
The architect is coming to look into changes to see the cost of everything. They found in the
process that what they want to do is going to be more than the gift we were given so we will
have capital campaign in the future. They looked into the children’s area and the old sanctuary
as the opportunities to go with.
They also placed money into a CD which has grown over the months.
He also brought up the nominating committee and how they wanted to do it in the summer so
they could actually do training with the new candidates. He asked for a volunteer and Cathy
Fratilla said that she would be willing to be our representative.

Closing prayer: This was done in our groups as we spent most of the time working on details
for the picnic and we prayed for all the groups and the needs that we can help with.

July meeting is on July 4th so instead of rescheduling we will just not have a meeting in July.

Next meeting is August 1st at 7 pm
