Agenda Items:
1. Treasurers report:
The treasurer’s report was deferred due to absence of the Treasurer
at the meeting.
Melba led a discussion concerning the status of Memorial Funds.
After discussion Lynn Correll was appointed to work with Mary Childers
to provide an accounting of the funds in Memorials with the amounts of
money in each and whether the family has designated a project for those
funds. Suggestion was made to combine smaller undesignated
funds to accomplish a larger goal for the Church. Lynn was directed
to ask Marge Dubois and Julia Kinsey if they would like to join her on
a Memorials Committee.
2. Trustee Committee:
Jim Fetterly reported that all work on the Nursery is done and the
downstairs painted. He also reported the crib in the nursery is not
up to present safety code. The Board directed that the crib should
be destroyed if not safe. Jim was asked to discard the crib.
Jim also reported that the old rental house next to the Church has not
yet been sold. It is being offered in exchange for anyone to move
it off the property. Another ad will be entered in the paper.
3. PPR Committee:
a. Has not met yet in 2001. Melba reported that she and Sarah
Stadelman took pictures of the shut-ins for the Church directory.
Discussion ensued about regular visitation to these individuals.
4. Congregational Care:
a. Maxine Palmer has accepted Chairmanship of this committee and they
have met since last Administrative Board meeting. They discussed
the visitation program and are working on establishing an “adoption” process
in which individual families in the congregation would adopt one shut-in
member and visit them regularly, check on their needs and bring them presents
or take them out for dinner or other trips if appropriate. Maxine
has requested a list of the shut-ins from previous CC Committee members
but they have not yet responded. Lynn Correll volunteered to ask
Mary Childers for the list at the same time they work on Memorial funds.
b. Congregational Care has planned the All Church birthday party for
June 21, with a pizza party and cake. A free will offering
will be taken at that time.
c. The Congregational Care committee is already planning a Student
appreciation Sunday for the last Sunday of the year in which returning
College students and other youth will be asked to participate in a service
which will be dedicated to them.
5. Education Committee:
a. Tina reported that children’s Sunday School proceeded without interruption
during the renovations at the Church through May.
b. Tina requested some advice and direction for the education program.
Many options were discussed with no clear course set at this meeting.
Melba requested the Board members to consider options and review them at
the next meeting.
6. Worship Committee:
a. Joleen reported the committee has finished developing name tags
for the congregation. They are working on making a rack to
hold them to complete the project.
7. United Methodist Women:
a. Lula Mae reported that UMW is recessed for the summer, although
there are tentative plans to host an ice cream social sometime as a fund
raiser.
8. United Methodist Men:
a. Scott McClure reported that the Men’s Group has been meeting regularly.
They plan to meet in the Church if they can recruit someone to make the
breakfast.
b. They will use the money they would have spent at a restaurant for
their projects.
9. Methodist Youth:
a. The need for a representative from our Youth Group on the Board
was discussed. This was seen to be beneficial to have someone here
to speak to youth issues and help develop programs to meet their needs.
