Judy and Tom Smith have donated battery operated lights for the Worship Closet in the Narthex. W&M will ask property to install.
Displaying of Altar Paraments from original Sanctuary was tabled until September’s meeting.
Roberta Kressler has resigned as Chairperson of the Altar Guild so we are looking for a new volunteer for this position. W&M mentioned several names and will be contacting some folks who may be willing to help us out in this capacity. Roberta’s last act as chairperson was to host an Altar Guild training breakfast which was very successful. Sixteen people attended. W&M sends a big “Thank You” to Roberta Kressler and Linda Rouzer for their work on the breakfast.
Summer schedule of 8:15 AM and 9:30 AM services will begin on Sunday June 7th and will continue until the Sunday after Labor Day, September 13th, at which time we will resume 8:15 AM and 10:15 AM Services. All signs need to be changed to reflect the new starting time of 9:30 AM for second service.
Pastor Harding asked the committee about the possibility of adding a third Church Service each week. If three services become a reality, it was suggested that we either have three services on Sunday morning or add a Wednesday night service.
