Three Things from Church Council

Church Council had their regularly scheduled monthly meeting on January 13, 2010. Here are the three things you need to know from that meeting:

1. The All Church Workday is scheduled for Saturday January 23 starting at 8:30 AM. Bring your work gloves, your work ethic, and a snack to share as we declutter, rearrange, and make the church beautiful from top to bottom.
   
   
2. We have installed Church Windows as our database software on the church computer. This suite of programs will allow us to keep digital records of the church's members, track visitors, keep up with expenses, payroll, pledges and more. We will have a training event on Saturday February 13 at 1PM for any folks interested in volunteering to learn to input data and information into the program.
   
   
3. I am proud to announce that the Encanto Community Church will be helping out with the UCC Habitat for Humanity build here in the Valley of the Sun. Our friend Ron Caputo is organizing the build and we will be partnering with the Church of the Beatitudes, First Congregational Phoenix, Shepherd of the Hills, and Shadow Rock (as well as two Catholic Church joining the coalition) to build a house in downtown Glendale. We will need volunteers to help out on the worksite and provide meals/snacks for the work crews. Look for the sign-up sheet in the Fellowship Hall or see Rev. Brian for more details.
