OPENING PRAYER:  Aaron


TOPIC 1:  Benevolent Fund

  • May still need a committee to support review of this comprised of 3 people to work with Gwen/Pastor to approve up to $500
  • Above $500 would require full Deacon approval by meeting or text
  • Deacon Chair would be one of the three

Form a committee of 3 and permit them to have authority of up to $500 to approve. Anything above that goes to the deacons.

Aaron and Charlie will serve with Wayne.


TOPIC 2:  Supporting church member needs

  • Have some church members unable to do yard work, clear snow and such , calling the church for help.
