What new things
would be of interest to the community and congregation? 
Let’s look outward. The responsibility belongs to all of
us!!

We have a Book Club
We have a youth group. The youth group needs your support!
Who would want to pass up an opportunity to influence
young folks once a week?
Want to start a walking club?  Want a traditional Bible
study? Want a seminar/workshop on a topic?   What are your
ideas?
We are exploring the possibility of reinstituting Friday
Family Fun Nights
We continue to seek out professional oversight of our
programmatic life.
Long term personal goal of the chairperson- Host a
children’s choir festival- Spring 2010
