Elder Minutes For 3 October 2011

PRESENT: Jim Norman, Dave Tinker, Doug Joseph, Jack Norman, Wray Petry, George Joseph, George Cope

ABSENT: Frank St. John,

Pastor Cain, Pastor Moore, J Johnston, Pastor Krall, Debbie Carey joined the Elders to pray for the needs of the church.

After a time of prayer, all of the pastors exited the meeting.

Debbie Carey provided the administrator’s report:

>  Offering was ~$44.2k

> Rita has transferred $200,000 from several reserve accounts to the operating account.

>  First Steps Preschool and Childcare is reducing staff hours to compensate for the drop in attendance.

Debbie exited the meeting at this point (at 4:45PM).

There was a motion made by Wray Petry and seconded by Jim Norman to pass the 9/26/2011 minutes. It passed unanimously.

Because of Frank St. John’s absence, we decided to table the decision to make Debbie Carrie permanent in her position. All of the elders responded favorably to this decision.

There were discussions concerning Dino’s meeting with Pastor Cope. The Elders have been actively pursuing resolution to this situation.
