Session Highlights

August 24, 2010 Meeting

*Session heard a report from representatives of the Pastor Nominating Committee, describing the search process .   Members of the congregation are encouraged to attend worship next Sunday, August  29th , for further announcements.

 *Session accepted and approved the 2009 audit report, by an external auditor, brought forward by the Finance Committee.

*Property Committee reported that the installation of the sound loop in the chapel and in the Fellowship Hall had been completed, and that the installation of the Fellowship Hall AV system would be ready for the beginning of the fall education season.

*Property Committee reviewed plans for refurbishing of the playground area.

*As was discussed at the June Session meeting, serious consideration was being given to removing the present pulpit and using the materials for a new, less visually obstructive and more portable pulpit.  Session took action to go ahead with this change; you will see the beginning of this on Sunday.  Portions of the present pulpit will be utilized in a new lectern to be built and the current memorial plaque will be  mounted on that lectern.   Additional areas of the chancel will also be refurbished.
