Highlights from November 8 Session meeting:
- Approved new $5000 tech grant proposal
- Prepared for 2022 Budget writing meeting on Monday, November 15th
- Set date for Session examination of new church officers
- Discussion of current social distancing/mask policy
- Heard decision of Deacons to send “goodies” to first-responders and medical personnel in our church as our “thank you” for their continuing good and faithful work; this will be done prior to Thanksgiving
- Heard update on annual reviews for Mark, Nancy, and Cathy

- Our average weekly worship attendance is approximately 75% of our pre-pandemic totals…
- We are hoping to add as many as two more Young Music Ministers. If you know of any high school or college age students, please let them know…
- If we are awarded the $5000 tech grant that we applied for from our Presbytery, it will mean that almost $90,000 has been awarded to our church since 2013…
- We are planning a Blue Christmas service on Sunday, December 19th at 7:00 PM. This will be a very special service for those who feel the pain of loss especially during the holidays. We want them to never forget God is still there (and we are too!)
