  • We skipped the Elder Interest areas as we had only three Elders present.

  • Discussed: Envelopes (offering/tithing) as some parishioners are dissatisfied that they no longer receive them.

    Discussed: the possibility of using debit card machines in churches for those parishioners who would be more inclined to use them over traditional checking accounts.

  • Discussed: Scheduling conflict on Sept. 24 between the 4”45 service and a volleyball game. Was easily rectified.
