Pastor Rick Moore joined the meeting at 5:15 PM to give a report concerning several ministries.  

At 5:45PM Jonathan Cashman entered the meeting. Pastor Cope noted that Jonathon will be giving oversight to worship here at Calvary.

Jonathan shared his heart and vision:
    >  I want to encourage unity and create a welcoming, family atmosphere.
    >  I believe that last Sunday (12/4) is the beginning of greater things to come.
    >  Unity is needed in all departments, not just in the worship team.

Jonathan left at 6:05PM.

The Finance Council joined the Elders to discuss budgetary items.
