Congregational Life
The church received a legacy from the Bush estate and has formulated a policy for the use of the funds. All expenditures are to be approved by the Session. The first division of the fund is $10,000 for the building and grounds beyond the ordinary maintenance overseen by the Building and Grounds Committee. The Mission Committee appointed by the Session will oversee the remaining $20,000. This portion will be used for work for the Church beyond the ordinary budget. This may be dispersed each year up to $4,000 unless there is an extraordinary mission project. This policy will be revisited in May 2013. This policy becomes void in the event of a financial crisis for the church.
The Session will be appointing a committee soon. If you have an interest, please let a Session member know.
If you are interested in working on a revitalization project for the church, please contact Pastor Cunningham.

Thought for the day:
God, you speak to us in surprising ways, through unexpected and unlikely people. Help us to listen for your voice and teach us to serve others with kindness and love. We ask this in the name of Jesus, who sends us out to love and to serve. Amen.
