3 Things from Administrative Council

Administrative Council met this past Sunday immediately after worship. Here are the three things you should know from that meeting:

1. We formally approved a 50th Anniversary Committee. In February of 2014 we'll celebrate 50 years of ministry at First Christian Church Scottsdale! That historic day will be here before you know it...so we're putting together a committee and have plans in place to include them in forthcoming budgets and business sessions.
   
2. The Church Restructure Group is making major progress. Building on one of the goals we named at the Administrative Council Retreat at the start of the year, Sandi DeFeo presented the basic framework that will undergird our new church structure -- with an emphasis on picking up the pieces that have fallen through the cracks (important things like Fellowship, Education, and Church Growth!). Plans are being made to amend the by-laws and allow us to start living in to this new structure in the coming year.
   
3. The Church Growth Team continues to make headway. This was another big goal identified at the Administrative Council Retreat and this group is working hard to bring a renewed spirit of growth to the congregation. Look for some new "Growth Related" changes to start popping up as early as Kick-Off Sunday on the 11th of September!
