Social Action: Marjorie L. reported on the actions of this committee.
Worship Committee: Al Grapel reported that this committee will indeed retain the word “worship” in its title. Work is proceeding on a mission statement for this committee.
Music: Al G. reported on the functioning of the committee. The board came to the conclusion that this committee should be similar in structure to that of the CRE Committee. It would meet regularly and set goals, which Linda G. would implement. The excellence of creativity and talent, which Linda G. has engaged for the musical aspect of our ministry, was acknowledged.

Kit Kitcham reviewed her monthly report, which had been disseminated electronically. Her main recommendation was that we proceed with flank speed to engage our members in the crafting of a mission statement for our congregation and to delay consideration of a Welcoming Congregation program until the mission statement is in place.
