Board Notes

THere was a BOard meeting last night. HEre is some of what was discussed:

• The proposed Congregational Meeting for September 16. It was decided that we would postpone this and have a supper meeting at the end of October. The focus of this would be on visioning and the future. Details will follow.
• Our Natural Gas contract comes due this fall. We decided that we will float on the market price at this time.
• There is a Lay Worship leader program coming up and we discussed people from Atikokan who might be interested in attending.
• Various Property issues were discussed. A new water heater will hopefully be installed soon and the downstairs washroom will have some work done on it.
• At present the church is approximately $10 000 behind for the year.
• We did some discussing of the upcoming Presbytery Oversight visit
• Some possibilities for enhancing music in the church building were discussed.
