An Update from the Governing Board... At our February meeting, Treasurer Jackie Roth reported that we were fortunate to have several members pay off their 2018 pledge during January, which gives the church a nice balance in the operating budget. The kitchen project has been on hold while we awaited a final inspection on the restoration project by the Summit County Building Department; after that, we’ll receive a final invoice from our contractor, Mark Hammer. Last week, the building passed the final inspection, and so, when the financial details are complete, we look forward to resuming work on the kitchen. The Board continued discussion of a longer-term strategy focusing on our goals: where we want to be in three to five years. God always seems to have some surprise for us, but planning on our part doesn’t hurt. At this point, the Board is simply discussing some fundamentals, which, hopefully, will lead to productive discussions with the congregation as a whole. This planning is not something https://i.pinimg.com/736x/f6/cf/54/f6cf543d0454c1f0ddd2ee7f71924728--faith-quotes-lds-quotes.jpg that will be finalized soon, but it should be worth the effort. I mentioned it last month, but it is important to repeat. If you have thoughts (dreams?) about longer-term visions for our church or about programs we could sponsor in our fellowship hall, which might be of general interest to our neighborhood, please share them with a member of the Board. Finally, you might watch for the minutes of the Governing Board meetings, which will be posted monthly on the bulletin board in the hallway. “Remember to make way for the pizza delivery dude!” Hal Horton 2018 Governing Board President
