The minutes are posted on the bulletin board in the Christian Education
building.
(Please remember that minutes must be approved before they can be published
so they will always run two months or two meetings behind.)
Coffee Talk
Many of us enjoy a morning cup of coffee but do we ever think
about where it comes from? Recently the vestry looked into the idea of
purchasing "Fair Trade" coffee for the Sunday morning coffee hour. In order for
a grower to earn the Fair Trade certification the coffee must be grown and
processed by laborers who are paid a living wage which include benefits. Yes, it
is a little more expensive but it is the right thing to do. And it makes a
mighty tasty cup of coffee!

The steps at the front of the church’s main entrance need
attention, either an estimate to rebuild or build over |
| Motion made and seconded to expend
but not exceed $1500 to extend the front steps with a rail. Chip Kinne
stated that the aesthetics of the church must be maintained and not detract
from the beauty of the church. Motion resubmitted pending acceptance of the
design. Vestry polled and approved. |
| Committee Reports: |
| |
a) Christian Education-Jennifer
Westermann spoke to the change in the curriculum, "Living the Good News" and
reported to the specifics of the expectations of the fall classes. |
| |
b) Ministry to the Homebound: Chip Kinne
would like to highlight Jane Brunner in the near future. |
| |
c) Other Communication: Jackie Reece spoke to the
importance of parish nursing for the elderly and perhaps establishing a
Wellness Clinic that would be an informational clinic containing health care
proxy data, blood pressure screenings, living wills, etc. This idea was
received with much enthusiasm and will be pursued. |
