Worship Committee Report
- They are working hard, and getting insights from a younger perspective, Alana, in the congregation.
- Good conversation happening
Social Justice Report
- A SJC member will read about the special collection for the month for the National Voting Right Institute in Alabama since it is so far away.
- Things are going well and coming along
RE Committee Report
- Debra T. will take on some responsibility on posting to find a new RE coordinator, and is also taking more leadership in some of the curriculum to target the older student engagement.
- Can RE have some money dedicated to refresh it, especially since losing Lana and more kids are coming? Mathias will bring it up to the committee.
- Finding 1 volunteer each week to help teach, with some regular volunteers each week.
Treasurer’s Report
- Attached, please see our treasurer's report for the month of October. You'll notice on the "budget graph" tab that our income, totalling about $9700, was significantly up for the month while our expenses were about what was budgeted, meaning we added about $3500 to our account where we had budgeted to withdraw around $500. This means that for the year, we have decreased our savings by about $2000, significantly less than the roughly $3500 we had budgeted to have withdrawn by now. We'll see how things progress through the end of the year! Our total account balances are about $55.5 thousand.
