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.
