Three Things You Need to Know from Council

Church Council met on Monday January 19, 2009 and here are the three things you need to know from that meeting:

1) We met with representatives from the Phoenix Mar Thoma Congregation and the Orthodox Church of India (both Indian congregations here in the metro-Phoenix area who are looking for a place to hold their weekly worship services). After receiving presentations from each group, Council agreed to allow both churches access to our building for their worship services with the Orthodox Church of India meeting here on Saturday evenings and the Phoenix Mar Thoma Congregation meeting here on Sunday evenings, for the fee of a regular offering made out to Encanto Community Church.

2) The All Church Clean-Up Day has been rescheduled for Saturday February 21, 2009 beginning at 8:30 AM. Council will put together a list of things to be done at our next meeting, and if you have particular ideas please let us know!

3) The Annual Budget Presentation has been scheduled for Sunday March 22, 2009 immediately after the morning worship service. That means that all budget items and requests should be submitted no later than March 1, 2009.
