OUR CHURCH MET IN A CONGREGATIONAL MEETING ON FEBRUARY 25^th and authorized a recommendation that we call an Associate Pastor (Minister of Youth and Christian Education).  This will require that we increase our financial support of the work of the Lord here to meet this increased expense.

REPAIRS AND IMPROVEMENTS  mostly to the classrooms and Youth Room on the 3^rd floor were approved (ceiling tiles, carpeting, furniture, lighting) as were additional improvements for the Parlor, narthex, and Fireside Room.  Funding (up to $45,000) will be from available bequests, memorials, and other legacy funds.
