MEETING FOR WORSHIP WITH ATTENTION TO BUSINESS, Third Month, Fifth Day, 2006

The meeting opened with silence, and a reading of a psalm about “knowing.”

The Ministry and Oversight report was read and accepted, including agreement to move Meeting for Worship with Attention to Business to April 9 to accommodate Iowa Mid-Year Meeting on April 1. Other adjustments to weekly programs also accepted.

Finance Committee report was read and accepted. Givings were up in January and February, but we are still spending more than we are taking in.

Publications Committee report was read and accepted after discussion of binding past newsletters, including an offer from one member to help finance the endeavor. Publications Committee was asked to continue exploring options on binding.

Considered a request from Grace Community, a “non-church” group, to use the Meeting House on Saturdays (from 7 to 9 p.m.) as a music rehearsal site. Some monetary offering would be involved. It was decided to ask Jim to further negotiate with the group about sharing the Meeting House on those nights where we might have a conflict with our Game Nights.

The meeting closed with silence.
