Three Things from Church Council

Church Council met on Monday April 20, 2009. Here are the three things you need to know from that meeting:

1) In an effort to keep people more informed and "in the loop" about the church's finances we will begin running a new regular feature in the newsletter that lists the monthly dollar amounts received and disbursed from the General Fund.

2) Kathy, Jane, John, and myself will serve on a Facilities Rental Task Force, in order to determine ways to "put our church building to use" in our community. You can expect to hear back regularly from this new group.

3) In preparing for our brief (ie two-minutes or less) presentation at the Conference Annual Meeting we answered the question, "How has God blessed the Encanto Community Church in the past year." Answers included: Getting our Fellowship Hall and Education Wing back, Calling Rev. Brian as our Interim Minister, Taking on the challenges and opportunities of the Interim Time with perseverance and strength, Two large financial bequests, Marching in the Phoenix Pride Parade, Tremendous congregational participation, and a New Website and Blog!
